Services for Students

Printing and copying are the only services in the Library that cost money.

How much does printing and photocopying cost in the library?

• Black and white copies: $0.10 per page
• Color copies: $0.50 per page

All currently registered students have a MyPrint account to pay for all prints and copies in the Library. Your MyPrint username and password is the same as your AccessRío account.
