Photocopying, Printing and Scanning Services - UWI Users

Registered students to the University are automatically given a print/photocopy account. The library provides photocopying, printing and scanning services. Patrons may photocopy, print or scan materials they require. Students who wish to copy, print or scan, can do so by adding funds to their student print/copy accounts. This can be done at the Law Library, the Campus Bursary or the Sidney Martin Library.

To enable printing or copying from any computers or copiers on campus, the student must go to the Issue Desk staff, present a valid UWI ID card, and a minimum of $5.00 can be put on to their printing/copying account.
 
  • Photocopying (students) costs 25¢ per exposure.
  • Printing (students) costs 15¢ per exposure.
  • Scanning (students) costs 25¢ per exposure.

Printing, photocopying or scanning is facilitated using computers or copiers available in the library or computer lab. Step-by-step instructions on how to use the machines are located beside each machine and the Library's knowledgeable staff will also assist patrons.

All users are expected to locate and copy their own material.

Wireless printing is currently not available.
 

How to use the Papercut print/photocopy service
