PaperCut is a print management system that is designed to reduce costs associated with excessive printing. Every student is given an account credit of $25.00 per semester. At a cost of $0.10 per page, this gives each user the ability to print 250 pages.

What happens to my balance at the end of the semester?
Your credit balance displayed in the PaperCut window is actually a combination of two accounts:
- Initial semester credit (provided by the University) - this $25 in print quota has no cash value; reset to $25 at the beginning of each semester
- Supplemental credit (added by you) - this balance comes from CajunCash you add into your account for additional print quota; supplemental credit carries forward every semester and is non-refundable.
