FAQ : Purchase quota


How to purchase more resource quota

This describes the process to obtain more resource quotas. Currently, only print and IP quotas can be purchased.

Obtaining more print quota

Your quota is renewed at the beginning of each session; unused quota does not roll over unless it was purchased.

Undergraduates and course-work students



If you run out of quota, or want to print more than your allocated quota, you will have to increase your quota by purchasing a larger allocation. To do this:

  • Collect a form from the CSE Help Desk (room G03 in the Mechanical Engineering Building);
  • Pay the Cashier (in the Chancellery - C22 on the university maps);
  • Take the receipt back to the Help Desk staff, who will increase your print allocation.


The cost is $1.00 for 10 pages. Only whole dollar amounts can be purchased.

Purchased print allocation will be carried over to next semester (subject based print allocations will not).

Postgraduate thesis students

Thesis students can request extra print allocation through their thesis supervisor. Their supervisor can then mail SS with an appropriate request.


Staff and Visitors

Staff and visitors can request extra pages by mailing System Support.


Obtaining more IP quota

The procedures for obtaining more IP quota are essentially the same as for the print quotas above - make sure when requesting it that it is clear which type of quota you require.
