Hi UMMSM!

How it works:

- Fill out the form and upload the file you wish to print (there will be a field within the form for that).

- Make sure to mark your availability on the form so that an SG officer can contact you with a meeting time.

- Meet at the confirmed time at the SG office (within Student Activites/DOCS office).

- Get your color copies and go!

Please note:

This new resource is being offered in a LIMITED trial setting, in order to assess whether providing the option for color printing will be feasible in the long term. For now, the maximum pages per request will 10 pages per organization and 5 pages if used for flyers around Rosenstiel.

We are excited to be able to offer color printing and we hope you will take advantage and be satisfied with this new service!
