Help Make Campus Technology More Accessible
The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Community Engagement and the Office of Information Technology (OIT) are commissioning a study of how CU-Boulder addresses accessibility requirements related to technology. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements have been firmly established around spaces and buildings, providing a framework for campus construction to follow strict standards for accessibility in the physical world. As this transformation has not yet happened in the digital realm, this study’s goal is to lay the foundation for technology accessibility for our campus.

Four Winds - Getting Started
Welcome to the CU digital display (DS) resource center. This site will introduce the available network configuration options and provided the resources to set-up your network.
Please review the two available options outlined below. Once you’ve made your selection, proceed to the Get Started section for the option that you have chosen.
Option 1: Self Hosting
If you would like retain absolute control of your DS network by having it self contained within your department, than Option 1 is for you. With Self Hosting, you will maintain your own XML data base. Sign management is accomplished via Content Manager, a robust desktop based (PC) drag-n-drop DS content management tool. Let us know if you’re looking for a multi-user environment as there would be a SQL back-end component to discuss.
Four Winds - Tips and Tricks
The following tips and tricks have been compiled to help you ensure a smooth digital signage implementation and maintenance.
Avoid committees
Committee driven projects tend to experience ‘drag’ and a loss of productive hours resulting in additional time resources and expense. As a best practice, designate a central team of individuals responsible for each key area of responsibility. They can delegate as necessary.

Four Winds Digital Signage
CU-Boulder has a campuswide agreement with Four Winds Interactive to provide digital signage software. This enables campus departments to implement digital signage at the cost of the hardware (any windows-based system; hardware is also available through Four Winds Interactive).
What is Digital Signage?
Digital signage is a way of electronically displaying information on a screen. A digital sign may be a departures list screen at an airport or possibly a roadside advertisement. More information on digital signage can be found at the Four Winds Interactive website.

Student Quota
Students are provided a set amount of free prints each semester. Learn more about student quota.
Student Printing and Scanning - Student Print Quota
As part of the Student Computing Fee charged each semester, students receive a set amount of campus cash on their Buff OneCard to use toward printing in OIT computing labs.
Student quota is based on the amount billed to a student for the Student Computing Fee each semester.
- 6 or less credit hours per semester: $4.50 in quota for the semester
- 7 or more credit hours per semester: $9.00 in quota for the semester
This amount will is added to a cardholder account within 2 business days of the fee being uploaded to the University Bill.
Unused quota will carry over from the fall to spring semester. Unused quota will be cleared from the cardholder’s account one week after the Spring commencement.
