Printing On Campus{expander}

Printing on Campus

Each student has a $12.50 printing balance each term. Printing balance is essentially how much funds you have to print. You can print from anywhere on campus as long as you have a printing balance AND are signed into a student computer station or have the Papercut printing installed on your laptop.

There are multiple ways you can check your printing balance; here are two. One way to check is by logging onto any computer station on campus. Find your printing balance in the upper right-hand corner of the screen in a light green box. The second way is to check your printing balance directly from MyHeritage. To do so, follow these steps.
