What is "Free" Quota?

"Free quota" is a term given to the privilege to print freely in any of the computer labs at SMG. See the following section for eligibility. All Boston University students are also given a separate free quota account at OIT's computer labs (111 Cummington Street), inquiries about which should be directed to that lab. Free quota is not "free" in monetary terms; students have been given an initial account balance by virtue of their enrollment, but replenishment to the SMG free quota may only be extended through the addition of funds by the student. Further details can be found at our printing page.

Eligibility for Free Quota at SMG

Fully registered SMG and GSM students are given a $100.00 (1000 pages) free quota allotment at the start of each fall semester for use through the summer months. The full amount is credited to the student account at the beginning of the fall semester, and does not replenish for the spring semester. SMG minors do not receive free quota privileges.

Students can verify current school affiliation by conducting a BU directory search. Only those students enrolled in a program other than SMG or GSM will receive free quota. Regardless of the individual scenario, it is this status code, assigned by the registrar, that determines whether our system will allow free quota to a given student. Students who feel their affiliation is incorrect, or outdated, should contact the registrar directly.

Locker Rental

Lockers are available in the Rafik B. Hariri building for all School of Management students to rent. Although the supply of large lockers has run out, small lockers may be rented for $5.00. Locker rentals will be available in the Open Access Computer labs (room 328 or 340). Locker rentals are administered only by the Senior Lab Coordinator, Monday – Friday. If you come in at a time when he is not around, you can fill out a form, and pick up your locker combination and pay the following business day.

In order to receive a locker, you must first activate your AD account, for proof of SMG affiliation.

In order to log in, you must obtain and SMG AD account. If you are an SMG student or taking an SMG class you can do so by filling out the online application. If you are unable to submit the form see a lab assistant for help.
