Print Allowance

Northeastern University offers all students and full-time faculty and staff an annual print allowance to make printing more convenient. The print allowance can be used at Snell Library and various other locations throughout campus.

Print Allowance Allocation

All active Northeastern students and full-time faculty/staff receive $120 in printing allowance or the equivalent of 1200 pages per academic year. The print year is based upon the current academic calendar, which is from the Fall term through the end of the Summer (2nd half) term. There is no rollover of funds and no refund of any unused allowance.

The printing allowance is issued once a physical Husky Card has been printed for your account. Funds will be allocated within 1 business day after your card has been issued.

Alumni may access their remaining Printing Allowance on an Alumni Husky Card through the end of Summer 2 after their graduation. The allowance resets at the start of each fall term and Alumni will not have access to funds once that reset occurs.

If you use all of your printing allowance during the allotted time period, the printing system will automatically default to Husky Dollars. You cannot borrow prints from a future print period. The printing allowance is an administrative account with no billable value. It is not refundable or transferrable.

You can check your print allowance anytime through the self-service tab under Husky Card Account Balances in your Student Hub portal.
