Find out how to print, scan and photocopy on campus as well as how to order larger print jobs.

## Where to print on campus

Most basic printing can be done on campus.

There are [multi-function self-service printers](https://www.sussex.ac.uk/its/services/printing) located in all the [student computer rooms](https://www.sussex.ac.uk/its/services/clusterrooms/clusterprinting) and in the [Library](https://www.sussex.ac.uk/library/). These devices can print, scan and photocopy.

You can print from any Sussex computer or from your own device. 

### Printing and photocopying costs

As a student at Sussex, you have a printing account. Every sheet you print is charged to your account.

### Print credit

To use any of the printers you must have credit in your printing account, so keep an eye on your credit and remember to top it up regularly.

To check your credit, log in to the [Cloudprint system](https://cloudprint.sussex.ac.uk/). From Cloudprint, you can also check your Printing ID Number and look at your printing history.

To top up your print credit, use [Sussex Direct](https://direct.sussex.ac.uk/login.php) to [add credit to your account](https://www.sussex.ac.uk/its/help/faq?faqid=1423) using a debit or credit card (minimum amount £1).

## External printing

You may need to order more complex types of printing, for instance:

- printing and binding dissertation or research/study packs,
- printing posters, e.g. for personal use or for PhD vivas and showcases
- other high quality printing, e.g. flyers or other materials for Students’ Union societies or personal projects.

In this case, you can use our [external print service](https://www.sussex.ac.uk/brand/staff/external-print)[Print Marketplace](https://www.sussex.ac.uk/brand/staff/external-print) to order printed items from pre-approved suppliers at competitive prices.
