You can print from any computer on campus, or from your personal laptop, phone or tablet using our mobile print service. Printers are conveniently located all over campus, usually in or near to study spaces where there are computers.
When you print, your document is sent to the printer and held in a secure queue for 8 hours. After then your document is automatically deleted from the queue unless you delete it before then.
