Print from your device using MobilePrint

You can now print to any lab or public printer on campus from any laptop, tablet or smartphone!

IMPORTANT:  In order to use MobilePrint, you must have an active print account and printing balance. If you have never printed on campus before, you must first go to a print release station in a computer lab or the library and swipe your Ship ID card to activate your print balance.
