OTS Computer Lab and Printing Accounts Policy
OTS computer labs are equipped with printers for members of the IIT community to use. An OTS computer
lab and printing account is automatically created for each registered student. Users must have a
computer lab account to access lab computers and print in OTS computer labs.
Account Login
Students, faculty and staff can log in and print in computer labs with their myIIT username and
password (same as IIT Email username and password). When a myIIT password is changed, computer
lab accounts will reflect the change.
Free Printing Credit
Each registered student receives free printing credits for 1,000 black and white, letter-size (8.5” x 11”)
prints per academic year. Free printing credits are applied to student accounts in disbursements of
500 pages (equivalent of $25) at the beginning of each fall and spring semester. Students registered
for summer classes will receive free printing credits for an additional 500 pages for the summer
emester. Free printing credits that remain in a user’s account at the end of the fall and spring s
emesters will roll over to the next semester until the end of the academic year (end of the summer
semester). At the completion of the summer semester all remaining free printing credits from that year will expire.
Free printing credits are nonrefundable and are expired annually with no exceptions. If a student has
NOT registered for classes over the course of one academic year their printing account will be
disabled and any remaining free credits will expire. Once the student registers for classes their
printing account will be enabled and free credits for the current semester will be applied to their account.
Faculty and staff printing accounts do not receive free printing credits. In order to print in OTS labs,
faculty and staff members must add funds to their printing account.
Personal Cash Deposits
Users may deposit additional funds to their printing account with cash and personal check deposits
at the OTS Office in Stuart Building Room 007.* Personal funds deposited by a user will roll over
every semester, as well as every year until the individual uses the funds or requests a refund of
their cash deposit balance.
Refunds
Free printing credits are nonrefundable.
Unused personal cash deposits may be refunded at the OTS Office in Stuart Building, Room 007.
The receipt provided with the personal deposit must be presented for a refund.
Balance Adjustment Requests
If a user wishes to receive an adjustment to their free credit or cash deposit balance for a print
job that was not completed or was damaged due to an equipment error, they may complete
a “Balance Adjustment Request” form. These forms are available from the lab assistant in each
computer lab. The form must be completed in the lab and submitted to the assistant working at the
time of the printing error. Forms are collected and submitted for processing twice a week.
It may take several days for an adjustment to be reflected in the user’s account balance.
MyPrint Channel
Users may view their printing account balance via the MyPrint channel in the myIIT portal.
The channel is located on the Finances tab. A link to install print drivers for OTS lab printers
to a user’s personal computer is also in the MyPrint channel. The Printing Package drivers are
only for non-lab computers. The drivers can not be installed on OTS lab computers, which are set to
print directly to printers in that lab.
