Printing From Â鶹ÊÓƵ Devices

Â鶹ÊÓƵ utilizes a system for printing known as Paper Cut that allows you to print to any campus-owned printer. When printing you will select, FollowMEonPapercut as the desired printing device. You can then print at any printer by scanning your ID card at the designated location on the device. There is a one-time set up process that you will need to complete upon scanning your ID for the very first time. It involves your Â鶹ÊÓƵYou credentials. 

Printing from Personal Devices

Simply visit this  and follow the instructions for your device to get download and run MobilityPrint.  So now not only can you pick up your print jobs at any student print location on campus, but can also print from your personal device!
