University funded quota
Each year there are two printing periods:
- Printing Period 1 - 1st January to 30th June

Undergraduate and Postgraduate Coursework students will be provided with a University funded quota of $18.00 for each printing period.

Any unused University quota from a previous printing period will not be carried forward into the next period.
Faculty/school funded quota
Faculties/schools may choose to contribute additional quota for their students.

Print faults & system maintenance
Adjustments for print faults
If you have been charged for faulty printing you should present your faulty document to a member of the Ask Adelaide staff in Hub Central and request that an adjustment be made to your printing account. Students will be advised of the outcome of their request by email.
System maintenance
If you print a job during system maintenance, the job will print and will be charged to your account when the service returns. If this results in a negative balance, this amount will be deducted from any future quota applied.
