Where can I print, copy and scan documents?

There are two options to print, copy and scan documents:

For Print Shop use:

  • For printing large batches of classroom materials. (Syllabi, handouts, etc.)
  • You can specify to have the printouts delivered to TC (generally shows up in TC 133) or you can pick it up from the Print Shop, which is located on the loading dock of the RLC building. Pickup is often faster if you need something sooner, although they are not open during the evenings.
  •  
  • You can also specify stapling, double sided printing, hole punching, color paper, etc. Color ink printing is possible, but it does cost quite a bit more so please use color printing only when justified.
  •  
  • In general, print jobs can take up to 48 hours to complete, but can often be faster.
  •  
  • The Print Shop is much more cost effective than using the self-service copiers and printers on campus – all printing gets charged to our department and we want to be responsible stewards of student tuition and fees and of taxpayer money.
