Refunds for unacceptable printing output
On this page:
In-person/phone support
Credit for damaged or unprinted output is available upon request at most STC locations. As soon as possible after your loss, contact a consultant. If you are at IUB or IUPUI, contact a TCC consultant. At all other campuses, contact your campus Support Center. Refunds cannot be issued after the semester ends.
If you are requesting a refund, be sure to make the request within 24 hours of the print job you are disputing. If the job falls outside of this 24 hour period or the transaction is costly enough, a TCC consultant will escalate your ticket further to address your situation.
