Pricing & Billing

Pricing

We price our jobs individually, in response to what exactly the customers want done to them. So every job’s price reflects the work that was done to the materials used, and on which machines. The UCSC Copy Center is not allowed to make a profit, so we price our jobs as close as we can to cover our expenses (cost of materials, labor cost, machine costs, other overhead, etc.). Below you will find some of our pricing, but not all of it, by any means.

Scanning Fee Schedule

  • Scanning: $0.05/page (both sides)
  • Destapling/declipping/other prep work required to ready jobs for scanning: $60/hr. ($15 minimum charge)
  • REstapling/reclipping/other post-scan work (our standard is to return the scanned documents to you loose unless otherwise specified): $60/hr. ($15 minimum charge)
  • Shredding (exams or otherwise): $0.33/lb. (100 sheets weighs approximately 1 lb.)

Billing

All FOAPALs are charged at the beginning of the month for the previous month’s charges through BANNER/FIS; all SBS charges are submitted to Student Billing Services and charged monthly (roughly) according to their schedule.

You can also call us at (831) 459-3888 or email us with any questions you may have about pricing or billing.
