Alumni Printing
U of S alumni can print from the alumni computers in:
- Murray Library 4 computers
- Education & Music Library 4 computers
- Engineering Library 2 computers
Alumni can scan and photocopy in all seven libraries. Alumni pay regular printing rates and the staff at the checkout desk can help you add credits to your printing account.
Save Paper, Save Money

Reducing that amount of paper you use will save your money and help the environment. Here are some tips to reduce your printing costs.
- Use the print preview function to check that there are no extra, unnecessary pages at the end of your document.
- Reduce your font size and page margins, if possible.
- Always use the black & white setting for jobs that do not require colour. Colour printing cost more per side.
- If you are printing PowerPoint slides or notes, change the setting to print multiple slides per page.
