The ÑÇÖÞ×ÔοÊÓƵ Government Association provides a supplemental fund voucher program for graduate ÑÇÖÞ×ÔοÊÓƵs who deplete their PaperCut account. This program began and was implemented during the 2013-2014 Academic Year as one of the college projects from the members of the SGA College of Graduate School Delegation.

Your account is your individual account which keeps track of your printing allowance for each semester. Once a graduate ÑÇÖÞ×ÔοÊÓƵ reaches $0.00, they will be able to fill out the online form to apply for a voucher that will add more funds to their account. Each voucher is worth $10.00 (100 pages of printing) and each ÑÇÖÞ×ÔοÊÓƵ is allowed a maximum 2 per semester. There are only 50 vouchers available for the semester, so be sure to claim yours as soon as you run out!

Please attach/submit proof of the $0.00 balance with this online form.
