If you have applied to or attended other UM campuses, your account may have been created on their system instead of as a UMKC-USERS account. In this case, you won't have access to many of your computer resources, like network storage space or printing. To have your account moved to the UMKC-USERS domain, you will need to contact the Call Center at 235-2000.

If you wish to keep your account on the other domain, you can still log on to IS-lab machines by selecting the appropriate domain. You will type in the appropriate domain name, then your username, using the following format: domain_name\your_username

Here is a list of domain names that might assist you:

• TIGERS
• MST-USERS
• UMSL-USERS

To preserve the security of your account, if you are idle for more than 15 minutes, the system you're working on will automatically log you off. You will receive a pop-up box notification message before this happens which gives you 3 minutes to cancel the automatic log-off.

UMKC students can use up to $5.00 of print quota in IS-managed labs each week at no charge. This weekly quota does not roll-over from week to week, but resets to $5.00 every week.

If you use your entire $5.00 of free quota in any given week and choose to print additional pages, the cost of the print job is automatically deducted from your OneCard balance (Roo Bucks). This transfer is non-refundable!

Every time you print, you will be prompted to confirm the print job before it goes on to the printers. This will ensure you can see how much each print job is deducting from your free print quota or your Roo Bucks. If you have used your $5.00 of free quota in a given week, be sure you only confirm print jobs that you wish to pay for out of your Roo Bucks.

Your $5.00 of weekly print quota is automatically used in the IS-managed computer labs, the UMKC Libraries, and the School of Education TLL.

The cost of printing 8.5 x 11 black & white pages is $.05 per page. Please check with the site you're using for costs of enhanced printing, such as color pages. Each side of duplex printing counts as one page.

All UMKC students' PaperCut (printing) accounts are set at $5.00 of quota late Saturday night.

To avoid accidentally using too much of your quota at once, documents must be printed in increments of no more than 50 pages at a time. Printing 50 pages would use half of your weekly print quota ($2.50).

When you log on to any computer in an IS-managed lab, a window will pop-up that tells you how much print quota you have left.

This window can be minimized, but will always appear in the system tray at the bottom of your monitor. You can restore the window by clicking on the item in your system tray or task bar.

If you have already used your $5.00 print quota for the week and choose to print additional pages, your OneCard will automatically transfer funds (Roo Bucks) to cover the cost. This transfer is non-refundable!

Every time you print, you will be prompted to confirm the print job before it goes on to the printers. This will ensure you can see how much each print job is deducting from your free print quota or Roo Bucks. If you have used your $5.00 of free quota in a given week, be sure you only confirm print jobs that you wish to pay for out of your Roo Bucks.

To learn more about adding funds to your Roo Bucks, please go to http://umkc.managemyid.com

You can see what you've printed by checking your "Print History" within the PaperCut print management software. This can be accessed by clicking on the "Check Your Print Quota" link at the top of this page or by clicking on "Details..." in the pop-up window that tells you how much print quota you have left.

You can also review your print quota usage and transfers from your OneCard by checking your "Transaction History" from this site.

If you aren't satisfied with your printout, you can take it to the Student Assistant and show them what is wrong. After confirming the issue, they will send in an official problem report so that your quota can be refunded for that print job. Print quota refunds can take up to two business days, so please plan your print use accordingly. No monetary refunds are given, only refunds to your print quota.
