All library users are able to print from library computers. Printing is free.

Students are granted 30 pages of free printing per credit, per term. To print items, students need to have a print account created (where funds are deposited on your behalf each term). Speak to Josh Aman (in Dye 127) for help creating an account or adding funds to a depleted account. Note: to print in color your document must be on a USB flash drive - then you can print color for 15 cents a page on the color copier.

Community users should speak to a librarian to access free printing.
