OIT will work with your department's administrator or finance officer to arrange billing and payment using your department speedtype. Printing charges incurred by your department will be recorded in the Paw Prints system as a negative balance on the department account. OIT will contact your department admin on a regular cycle (TBD) to collected on the outstanding charges. Once payment is received, a credit will be applied back into the Paw Prints department account for that amount.
(OIT is currently exploring the option of offering Clyde's Cash (Transact) via a POI account as an alternative payment method (more information forthcoming).)
Billing for Student Clubs
Student clubs will need to deposit a dollar amount for printing by transferring funds from their club speedtype to the Paw Prints speedtype. Once that is done, a credit will be applied for the amount to their shared account in Paw Prints which will create a positive balance for the account. Printing charges incurred by your department will be recorded in the Paw Prints system and pull from the existing balance. If the balance reaches $0.00 or the print job exceeds the available balance, the job will error and fail to print. Funds can be added to increase the balance at any time.
