Copy Machine Policy- MFA Handbook
Only Teaching Assistants and Graduate Assistants may use the copy machine. All other students must make copies elsewhere.
Please be mindful when using the copy machine as well as all other Department equipment, that our resources are limited. The departmental copy machine is to be used for making copies associated with your responsibilities as a Graduate Assistant. If you need to make a copy of a paper you are writing for a class in which you are a student or any other personal business, you must find another way.
Most of the information you need for your students—syllabus, guidelines, notices, and the like--should be placed on Blackboard. The Department copier is to be used when making small numbers of copies. If you need more than a few pages or copies, these should be done on the school copier by the secretary. You may leave materials to be copied (with a completed copy form) in the box marked "copying" in the office. Large numbers of copies require more time. Ordinarily, no instructor should hand out more than 5-10 pages per student per semester (depending on the size of the class). If you have a lengthy article you wish students to read, or even a modest article in a large class, place it on reserve in the library. When making your own copies on the department machine, you will need a password (from the secretary).
In making copies, use both sides of the paper when possible. To further conserve resources, save paper that has been copied only on one side; put it in the designated pile in the copy room. The other side of paper can be used to copy memos or drafts; the secretary can demonstrate how to do this.
