SharkPrint<br />

NSU provides students with laser printing capabilities in the libraries, computer laboratories,<br />

and student educational centers. NSU Card print release stations, located adjacent to each <strong>of</strong> the<br />

university printers located in the public and student areas, control the process. Each registered<br />

NSU full-time and part-time student receives a credit for 750 print-copies per fiscal year (July<br />

1 through June 30) on their NSU Card. Once the credit allocation has been used, the student<br />

is charged 10 cents per print-copy. Unused credits cannot be carried over to the following year.<br />

This credit applies only to printing and is not for use with NSU copiers. The SharkPrint credits<br />

feed directly from the NSU Banner Administrative system. The public does not receive any print<br />

or copy credits. Cash stations are available for the public and for NSU students to add value to<br />

their NSU Cards.<br />

Public Safety<br />

The Public Safety Department provides protection and service on campus 24 hours a day. Public<br />

Safety should be called to report all emergencies, crimes, or suspicious situations. Public Safety also<br />

provides assistance in jump-starting vehicle batteries, giving vehicle owners access in case <strong>of</strong> lockouts<br />

and, when appropriate, giving NSU community members entry into locked buildings or <strong>of</strong>fices. The<br />

NOVALERT emergency number is (954) 262-8999 (ext. 28999 from on-campus phones). The<br />

West Palm Beach Security Office number is (954) 262-5626.<br />

• The Public Safety emergency telephone system is advertised throughout the university community.<br />

Emergency telephones are located at strategic locations on campus to provide communication with<br />

Public Safety at any time, especially in an emergency. These are blue light telephones.<br />

• The Public Safety staff works in conjunction with all emergency and care-giving services, including:<br />

the police, fire department, emergency services, and other university or community service units.<br />

• To help boost crime prevention on campus, the PSD staff performs several informational<br />

instructions each month to students and staff regarding safety and security.<br />

Public Safety <strong>of</strong>ficers are highly trained in life safety and security. Each is certified in first aid and<br />

CPR. Each <strong>of</strong>ficer is oriented through an intense 120-hour training program. Regular refresher<br />
