What is "Free" Quota?

"Free quota" is a term given to the privilege of printing freely in any of the computer labs at SMG. See the following section for eligibility. All Boston University students are also given a separate free quota account at OIT's computer labs within the Mugar Library, inquiries about which should be directed to that lab. Free quota is not "free" in monetary terms; students have been given an initial account balance by virtue of their enrollment, but replenishment to the SMG free quota may only be extended through the addition of funds by the student. Further details can be found at our printing page.

Eligibility for Free Quota at SMG

Fully registered SMG and GSM students are given an initial account balance according to their year of school:

Undergraduate Students

	Freshmen	600 Images
	Sophomores	200 Images
	Juniors	1000 Images
	Seniors	200 Images

Graduate Students

	MBA	1000 Images
	DBA	2000 Images

The full amount listed above is credited to the student account at the beginning of the fall semester, and does not replenish for the spring semester. Students pursuing minors in SMG do not receive free quota privileges.

Students can verify current school affiliation by conducting a BU directory search. Only those students enrolled in an SMG or GSM program will receive free quota. Regardless of the individual scenario, it is this status code, assigned by the registrar, that determines whether our system will allow free quota to a given student. Students who feel their affiliation is incorrect, or outdated, should contact the registrar directly.
