Within the Learning Centre you will find:

• Individual study booths • Study tables• Small bookable rooms for group study• A quiet study area• Computer and DVD/Video facilities• Photocopiers, scanners & printers• Guillotine and utility table

Photocopiers and Printers

To use the photocopiers: login using your username and password as you would for a computer

When printing, remember: • Be patient when waiting for work to print out. Printing

may be slower at busy times or if a document is large. • Sending a document repeatedly only adds to the print

queue and results in further delays, wasted paper and wasted print credits.

• If you have a problem, please ask at the desk.

Print Credits: all students are automatically allocated print/ photocopy credit. The amount varies from course to course. You can check your remaining credit or buy extra at the desk.

We have a black & white copier, black and white printers and a colour copier/printer.

The Learning Centre sells postage stamps and a range of good value stationery.
