Remember, you get 500 free black and white double-sided prints per semester and you can upload print jobs by choosing “Web Print” from the Campus Print website and then release them at any printer on campus.

Keep your fellow students in mind when you’re printing documents that are very long or contain many images. Please release these jobs in the library or another location with a high-capacity printer. Everyone else will be happy you did.
