Student printing

News: During Summer 2024, we are replacing the printers across campus. In preparation for this, we are asking students to test the new devices in the Main Library and Alan Gilbert Learning Commons from Thursday 2 May to Wednesday 15 May. During this time, printing on the new system for students will be free. Note that this is a temporary arrangement and only applies on the new system. Find out more:


Printing your documents couldn't be easier, you can print from your own device or from one of our PC clusters.
