I.SCOPE

These policies and procedures apply to George Mason University Faculty, Staff, Students and Contractors with access to University owned and operated photocopying equipment and supplies. This procedure applies to all University locations, owned and leased, including Fairfax Campus, Arlington Campus, the Prince William Institute and GMU at the Center for Innovative Technology.

II.POLICY STATEMENT
 

Photocopying equipment and supplies are provided by the University for the use of faculty, staff, students and contractors in carrying out their official duties. Personal usage is any usage other than that required to carry out official duties at the University. It is recognized that copying equipment and supplies are occasionally needed in making personal copies of dissertations, professional papers, or other items, all of which are deemed to be "personal usage". Since state funds may not be spent for personal usage, photocopies in the noted category may only be reproduced at University copy centers that accept cash jobs. The location of these centers may be found in the Customer's Guide to Print Services available from the Fenwick Copy Center or by calling 993-2562.
