SPU provides a campus-wide copier/printer program for students. There are several Multi-Function Printers (MFP's) located across campus for your use.

  • Students are granted free print credit at the beginning of each quarter that accumulates through the academic school year. Students enrolled in 12 or more credits get $5.00 per quarter, students enrolled in 11 credits or less get $2.50 per quarter. Once print credit has been used up, you can load Falcon Funds on your SPU ID Card for additional printing.
  • You can print black and white OR full color prints on paper sizes from 8 1/2" x 11" up to 12" x 18". The costs are $0.05 per page for black & white and $0.10 per page for color.
  • You may print directly from your computer or a USB flash-drive, copy, and scan to email.
  • Document scanning on the MFP's is free and does not require print credit.
  • You can submit print jobs via the web from on- or off-campus and print them from any MFP once arriving on campus. 

Instructions are posted at each MFP as well as our the CIS website at: MFP Student Printing.
