Making Copies
We encourage instructors to limit the use of papers. Go green and save trees! If you must make copies for the class, the copier is located in BE 1140E, and your key card should let you in. You can enter the building from Entrance A on Broadway, or Entrance E on Harvard Ave. You will need your key card with you to enter Entrance E.
The college is using a "follow-you" system, meaning that you simply type your ctcLink ID (EMPLID) into the copier to unlock it, and then you can make photocopies. Please make sure you have your EMPLID with you!
