Printing on Campus

Printing, copying and scanning services are available throughout the College by using the “Follow-Me” print system. This system is connected to the Centennial College myCard. There are approximately 70 open area device locations accessible to all students to send print jobs, across all four main campuses.

Every registered student at Centennial College has a myCard account that can be loaded with myCard General Dollars to pay for these services. For details about print services and topping up your myCard account, see mycard.centennialcollege.ca

To print in classrooms and labs, send your print job to the global print queue at the campus you are located. For example: If you are in a lab at the Progress campus, you will see Progress-Global for the default print queue in all computer labs. Your print-out will be held in queue until you release it from one of our devices using your myCard. Tap and hold your card in place at the device to release your job. Be sure to hit "Log Out" when complete.

In addition to printing, the all-in-one devices on campus allow you to photocopy and scan from (or to) a USB.  To use them, tap and hold your myCard until you see the next display screen and follow the instructions on screen. Be sure to hit "Log Out" when your job is finished.

Printing from the Web

Centennial College provides print services to users on campus through our Web-Print system. You can send print jobs using Web Print, from computer stations in classrooms, labs and at computer stations or from non-college computers.
