Live@LaG Print assists the College in understanding the academic printing needs of students, allowing us to fine-tune printing policies to match those needs. Live@LaG Print allows students to monitor how many pages are in each print job, as well as a history of the print jobs they have sent. There are also features that allow users to see what their print jobs’ environmental impact is on trees, carbon, and energy. Printing policies Minimize printing multiple copies of print jobs (Copy machines are available in the Library and the C-building lobby). Print jobs must be 30 pages or less, Live@LaG Print will automatically deny documents that are more than 30 pages. This helps to make sure that everyone gets their print job in a timely fashion. Use only the paper provided in the computer labs. If you need to print on special paper, see a lab technician. The printing of envelopes, transparencies or mailing labels are prohibited in labs. When printing large documents from the web, use Print Preview to print only those pages you need rather than the entire document. When printing PowerPoint presentations print three – six slides to a page to minimize paper consumption. Lab technicians can assist you with this. Documents printed in Open Computing Areas are held in the cloud and can be picked up at any release station by swiping your LaG ID Card or entering your Live@LaG username and password.

Specialty computer labs, such as the ePortfolio, Library Media Resources, and SGA Study Hall labs provide users with special balances that are only available for use within those labs.

Student Technology Fee

Background

LaGuardia Community College established the Student Technology Fee (STF) in 2002 to improve computer services for students and faculty. The fee is $100 per semester for full-time students and $50 per semester for part-time students. The revenue from the fee is estimated to be $2.4 million based on enrollments in 2013 and 2014. In cases of financial hardship, individual students may have the fee waived.

A Committee for Academic Technology Services (CATS) was formed in 2013 to coordinate the use of STF resources. CATS focuses on technological resources directly used by students, such as computers, software, networks, and internet access. Their recommendations prioritize supplementing institutional support, supporting general technology resources before specific ones, prioritizing direct student access over mediated access, and investing in academic or instructional technologies before non-academic ones. They also emphasize maintaining and upgrading existing resources before investing in new ones, while encouraging seeking funding from various sources.
