IU Print: Secure, Easy & Flexible

At IU East, your print jobs are sent to a central server which is connected to all IU printers available for student use. What does that mean for you?

  1. You can print from IU East computers and your own devices.
  2. Your document follows your CrimsonCard. Say you're running late for class and need to print a paper, but the person ahead of you in line is taking for-ev-er. Hunt down a different printer, swipe your CrimsonCard, and your document follows you there, ready to print! Learn how to print.
  3. See a typo after you sent a document to print? No worries! As long as you don't print it, it won't count against your print allotment.

How many print credits do I have?

Print credits are tracked with your CrimsonCard and can be managed on the CrimsonCard website.

Do I really need to print that?

Need to collaborate on, keep previous versions of, or share a document? Do that in the cloud (Google and Office 365 available)!

How many pages can I print?

Each semester, you receive print credits that you "spend" as you print (called a print allotment). The number you receive depends on your enrollment status.

Print credits allotted per semester
(undergraduate & graduate students)
Enrollment statusPrint credits
Full-time (4 or more credit hours)26
Part-time (3 or fewer credit hours)13
Admitted, not enrolled 2

1 Print Credit = 25 black & white pages* OR 4 color pages*

* Quantities calculated for single-sided printing (simplex). Get more out of your print credits by printing double-sided (duplex)!

For example:

  • A full-time student printing only in black and white can print 650 pages.
  • A full-time student printing only in color can print 104 pages.

What if I run out of print credits?

CrimsonCard funds will be used to pay for printing until the start of the next semester when additional credits are added to your account. Deposit funds into your account online or at the CrimsonCard office.
