Collaborate presents GauchoPrint is a student-funded printing service that is accessible, easy to use, and located close to most classrooms.
These centralized printing locations in multiple buildings on campus combines convenience with an area to study and receive technical assistance. Additionally, consolidating printing allows UCSB to subsidize students basic instructional printing needs to assist in their classroom success.
How it Works:
Enrolled students are allotted 200 black-and-white pages per quarter (represented as $20.00 in the system) to use for their academic printing needs at any GauchoPrint location. Students needing additional printing can easily add to their quarterly allotment using GauchoBucks among other methods allowing students to publish any of their materials without worry about artificial caps restricting their goals.
