Software discounts for students
The WAICU MS Student Select Program allows individual who are employed by or attend WAICU member colleges and universities to acquire certain Microsoft licenses and media at less than half the cost of the academic retail boxed product. Note from now until March 31, 2008, faculty and staff may also purchase Adobe software for individual use through the WAICU Adobe Student CLP license program.
Photocopiers
All photocopiers and microfiche printers in the library take vendacards, not money. Your University ID card functions as a vendacard. If you do not have your University ID, you can purchase a vendacard at the library circulation desk for 60 cents.
Your University ID card or your vendacard start with a zero balance. Copies are 10 cents each. You can add any dollar amount to your card at the library circulation desk.
No refunds are made for the unused balance on your card.
