Student Print Funds and Print Release FAQ
Print Funds
Students who log into AVD University Desktops or AVD Computer Science Desktops will now see their print fund balance as a floating widget on their desktop. A low balance message is present if your balance is below $3.00.
Upon printing to any student printer on campus, a will pop-up will appear, asking you to confirm the print job and noting the name of the document being printed, the printer it’s being sent to, and the cost. Only confirmed jobs are sent to the print queue and charged. If your balance is lower than what is needed to print, a new shortcut is now available on the desktop that will take you to Rivier’s OneCard system where you can replenish your Raider Bucks account.
Student Print Funds will show the remaining balance of your free student printing fund which refreshes at the beginning of every semester. After this fund is depleted, students will use Raider Bucks to print. This is the same fund you can use at dining hall and elsewhere on campus. The floating desktop widget will show the balance of your Raider Bucks after your free print student printing fund has been depleted. Note that the widget will not tell you which fund it is displaying–you will need to visit Rivier OneCard to check your balances.

Print Release
Most student printers and copiers on campus are enabled with a Print Release feature. When a student prints to a student printer, the print job is held by the Print Release system. This reduces crowding at the printers and affords students privacy of what is being printed. Students are also able to send multiple jobs to the printer and release them all at once.
Releasing jobs at the copier is easy. Most students can swipe or scan their Rivier ID at the copy to sign in. Held print jobs will then display on the printer’s screen. If a student does not have their Rivier ID, they can sign in by typing their Rivier credentials on the printer’s touchscreen.
Print Fund FAQ
How much does it cost to print at Rivier University?
Black and white printing is $0.05 per printed side and color prints are $0.25 per side, unless otherwise noted on the copier/printer or at the time you print.
Students are given $25 of “free” printing allotment each semester. Unused printing balance does no carry over between semesters. After the $25 of “free” print funds is exhausted, our print system will deduct print costs from your Raider Bucks balance. Raider Bucks roll over from semester to semester, and can be used for a variety of other purchases on campus.
