Introduction
St. Cloud State University introduced a new HuskyPrint solution in August 2025 to enhance student printing efficiency. Students can now upload documents via a web portal and release them using a mobile app at any HuskyPrint printer. The system uses a point-based balance instead of dollars to manage printing usage.
Each student receives 1,000 points per semester:
- 900 points appear in the account.
- An additional 100 points are available as a buffer before printing is disabled.
This allotment is intended to support academic printing needs.

Allotment Reset Schedule
- Points reset approximately one week before each semester.
- Unused points do not carry over and are non-refundable.
Handling Printing Errors
As of Fall 2025:
- The 1,000-point allotment includes a buffer for printing errors (e.g., jams, misprints).
- Refunds are no longer issued for such errors.
Printing Limitations
- Insufficient Balance: If a print job exceeds the remaining balance, it will not print. A warning will be shown when nearing the limit.
- Exceeding Allotment: Students may request additional points. Extra usage is billed at:
- 1 point = $0.01, plus applicable taxes.
- Charges are applied via e-Services at semester end.
- Account Sharing: Printing accounts are non-transferable. Points cannot be shared or transferred between students.
