Serving UNC students and the University community since 1893
Volume 122, Issue 75 dailytarheel.com Thursday, September 18, 2014 Students For NC transfer students, panic over a clearer path to a degree downed CCI CCI printers were down throughout the day Wednesday. By Colleen Moir Staff Writer
Students who approached Carolina Computing Initiative printing stations expecting to swipe their UNC One Cards and print assignments were in for an unpleasant surprise Wednesday — the system was down for eight hours during prime class time. All CCI printers across campus failed begin- ning around 9 a.m., and the problem was com- pletely resolved around 5 p.m., said Jeremiah Joyner, Teaching and Learning Interactive man- ager for Information Technology Services. The failure came from an uncommon commu- nication error between the system that receives student print jobs and the system where students can pay for their print jobs, Joyner said. “There hasn’t been an outage this long for a while,” Joyner said. Other options for printing on campus were available to students, all of which forced them to pay out of pocket for their print jobs during the time that CCI Printing was down. Signs on the CCI printers in the Undergraduate Library urged students to take their print jobs to the UNC Print Stop, located on the third floor of Student Stores. “There has been a constant line of customers,” Lydia Thompson, a senior and sales associate at dth/martha-scott benson the UNC Print Stop said around 3:30 p.m. “It’s hard to keep track of them all.” Carlos Cordero (left) speaks to Erik Carlos II at the C-Step Kickoff Monday. Cordero transferred to UNC from Fayetteville Technical Community College. Customers normally send in their orders online and then come in to pick them up, rather than forming a long line at the front desk like the one Nationally, students battle credit transfer policies that was seen Wednesday. “Lots of people have small orders, like two By Blair Burnett many transfer students, the transition to socially, in whatever transfer path they take.” pages for 11 cents, and are charging it to their Staff Writer UNC — and to other schools nationwide — She said the average grade point average credit card, so I’m not sure how much profit we’re is not as seamless. of a transfer student before coming to UNC is actually making,” Thompson said.
