Printing

You are automatically given £3.50 print quota when you join the University.  You can top up your print quota at the Library Reception desk, or by using one of the wall mounted print quota machines available in most computer suites.

It currently costs five pence per sheet to print in black and white and twenty pence per sheet to print in colour.

You can check your print quota from any PC on campus by hovering the mouse over the pound symbol in the system tray (by the clock).

If you are connected to the Eduroam wireless network, you may also be able to print directly from your laptop.  Instructions are available by clicking here.
