    Printing off pages and pages of notes or lecture slides adds up to be really expensive! Free printing at the University would be really helpful.

9:19pm on 15 Nov 18 This is true. I would not want to add up how much I have spent on printing but it is a lot. I need to print everything because I do not have internet access at home so I rely on the printed copy. But I am aware that we all need to print lecture slides, journals and book chapters etc on a regular basis so it would be great to get this resource free or at least for the most part.

3:32pm on 16 Apr 19 Hi there! We've discussed your suggestion, and have an update for you! The University is currently doing a review of the printing strategy, and while we cannot guarantee that you'll get free printing, we have taken the feedback from yourself and the voters into those discussions. We also recommend keep printing to a minimum and essentials only, and trying to see notes and slides digitally where possible. Not only will this save you money, but will also benefit the environment! If you want to discuss this further, feel free to drop me a message at: vpcommunity@derbyunion.co.uk
