Convenience Copier
The Convenience Copier program was established by the state of Tennessee in 1978. This program allows departments to access up-to-date copiers at a very low cost per copy. All UT departments, with the exception of the Library and the University Center, must obtain copier services through this program.
If you do not have a copier and wish to obtain one, please send an e-mail with your name, department, and phone number to convcopier@utk.edu, or call 865-974-9256.
