Shared Accounts/Print Billing Codes are used when students need to print for department, course, faculty, special projects, or other department-driven needs. The department coordinator must request the shared account and provide a budget code to record charges, along with a list of users' Upenn email addresses who will need access to the printing code. It's crucial to create the shared account before printing jobs to ensure correct charge transfers.
If printing was done before the code was created, we can help transfer the charges, but it involves a series of transactions, which isn't ideal. Please plan ahead for special projects and have your code created and access set up before printing begins.
An email will be sent to the users stating, you now have access to the requested account made by your department. The shared printing account is called _________________________. To use this account, print from a Weitzman Print Station or Computer Lab. A pop-up window will appear, allowing you to choose between your "Personal Account" and the "Shared Account." Select the appropriate account and ensure it is highlighted before clicking accept.
