Printing Facilities for Students

Printing Venues

Computer Rooms, Libraries and Residences at Mahikeng,  Potchefstroom or Vanderbijlpark are equipped with laser printers that can print black and white on A4 paper. Print facilities should be used for academic purposes in an ethical, legal and appropriate manner and not to the detriment of others. Printing should be kept to a minimum during peak times as many students may be trying to use the same facilities.

Printing Procedure

  1. Print from any workstation, in any computer room, library or residence.
  2. Swipe your NWU card at Swipe Here. If you don't have your NWU card handy, you may enter your NWU number and Network password on the printer's display pad.
  3. Select the print job to be released and press Print.
  4. Your print job will now print, and credits deducted from your account.

Should you experience an IT-related problem please contact your Student IT Service Desk.
