Copies and Printing

Printing from Computers

Printing is available to current UHD students, faculty, and staff, to UHD alumni, and to visitors with valid identification from Lone Star College or any University of Houston System campus. Printing is not available to visitors from other universities or to the general public.

UHD students receive a printing credit of $25.00 at the beginning of each semester. The charge to students is 5 cents per page for black-and-white and $1.00 per page for color. Students have several options for adding funds to their print accounts should they use up their initial $25.00*:

  • Add-Value Station: If a student has cash, s/he can add funds to her/his account using add-value stations here in the Library Lab or in the Academic Computing Lab (800-South).

  • Cashier's Office (GSB - 407): Pay with cash, card, or check by submitting an add-value form to the Cashier's Office. Forms are located in the file cabinet to the right of the reference computer. Take the receipt to the Academic Computer Lab.

As a courtesy to our sister campuses, we offer printing to visitors from the University of Houston, the University of Houston-Clear Lake, the University of Houston-Victoria, and Lone Star College. We also offer courtesy printing to UHD alumni. To sign up for a printing computer, you must present a valid university identification card from one of these institutions, or a valid UHD alumni card.

* Students should note that any of the initial $25.00 left in your print account at the end of the semester DOES NOT get refunded or rolled over to the next semester. If, however, you use up that $25.00, and add additional funds and do not use them, those funds WILL get rolled over to the next semester.

A vending machine near the Circulation Desk on 5th Floor North makes change from $1 or $5 bills,it dispenses only quarters. During scheduled business hours, change is also available from the Cashier's Office in GSB - 407 One Main Street Building.

Copy Machines

There are no copy machines or fax machines in the library. There are flatbed scanners that may be used and then printed in the computer lab.
