UPEI continues to offer a variety of printing services on a user-pay basis. When UPEI migrated its networks from Novell to Microsoft Active Directory this past spring, there was an issue with the PaperCut system that collects payments from the printers. In order to maintain printing capabilities and avoid any service disruption, UPEI waived printing fees on a temporary basis.
The issue with PaperCut has now been resolved and UPEI will resume collecting fees on Monday, November 20, 2017.
Students requiring printing services at the UPEI may click here for more information, to ensure they have funds available, or to add money to their PaperCut account.
