USF Libraries — Tampa campus

Printing/copying services in the USF Tampa Library are offered by USF Information Technology (IT). If you have any problems, please contact the IT help@usf.edu or by calling 813-974-1222. Printing costs are 11 cents per page for black and white and 22 cents per page for color.
  1. Printing in the USF Tampa Library requires using either a USFCard or a guest card.
  2. If you are using a student USFCard, your card will allow you to print up to $2.50/day for free. Additional printing in a given day will be automatically deducted from your USF BullBuck$ account. To add BullBuck$ to your USFCard, use the machine across from the Library Services Desk or go online to www.usf.edu/bullbucks.
  3. If you do not have a USFCard, you will need to purchase a $1 guest card from the machine located across from the Library Services Desk. You can put as much money as you wish on your guest card (cash only, no coins).

USF Libraries — Sarasota/Manatee campus

Students can print from any of the open use computers in the Information Commons rotunda study area, group study area, or from the computers located in Jonathan’s Café. All print jobs are sent to the student use printers, located next to the Academic Resource Desk and in the group study area. You will need your USFSM ID to release your print job. Students are provided with $2.50 worth of free daily printing, paid for by the Student Government Association (enough for 22 black-and-white pages, or 11 color ones). Unused pages do not roll over to the next day. If you need to print more than this daily allotment, you can add money to your BullBucks account. Don’t worry, your free pages will be used up first.
