Printing and Copying

SPU provides a campus-wide printing/copying program for students. There are Multi-Function Printers (MFPs)  located across campus for your use. You can submit print jobs via the web from on or off campus and print them from any MFP once arriving on campus.   You can also print directly from your computer or a USB flash-drive, copy, and scan to email.  Document scanning on the MFPs is free and does not require print credit.  Detailed instructions are posted at each MFP and on the CIS website:  MFP Student Printing.

Print Credits

You receive print credits at the beginning of each quarter that accumulates through the academic school year as part of your Technology Fee.

• Students enrolled in 12 or more credits get $5.00 per quarter
• Students enrolled in 11 credits or less get $2.50 per quarter.
• When print credit has been used up, you can use Falcon Funds on your SPU ID Card for additional printing.
