Printing Services
The general purpose of the printing and copying services unit is to provide quality, timely, and efficient printing and copying services to the AUC community in order to best support its academic programs and administrative services. All print and copy jobs requested by an AUC department, unit, group, or community member for University-related purposes must be sent through the University printing and copying services unit.
The print shop's general manager or supervisor will determine the most efficient and economical method to best meet the requirements of the job/order, including the use of contracts with outside printers or copy vendors and print shop resources.

Copying Services
AUC's copy center uses state-of-the-art copying machines that are capable of scanning up to 120 high-quality black and white copies (front and back) per minute. We have provided an overview of the online ordering below.
If you get hard copy materials and need to print soft files, you will continue to place two separate orders: one order for copying, and one order for printing the soft files after you upload them.
Starting an online order is easy. You can log in to the printshop and make the order if you are authorized to do so through your cost center. Once you log in, click on the order entry to begin your order.
You will receive an email to confirming your order and total cost. You will eventually receive a second email informing you of the completion and location of your print job.
For internal printing requests, login using email credentials.
Important Note: There will be no more requests accepted through phone calls or regular emails, all requests must be made through the online system.
Our new high-tech copying system scans the originals sent so that digital images are stored and are instantly ready to start the copying process. This system assures that the documents are protected from dust and mishandling, enabling us to provide a unique, speedy and high-quality service. If you have not already sent us your handouts and notes for this semester, do so as soon as possible so that we may offer a more comprehensive service to all AUC students.
Printing of examination papers and confidential materials will be given the highest priority by the University Printing and Copying Services Unit and requires special handling as follows:
- Respective faculty, or designated department individual, to submit a print shop online job order for their department. For copying and printing services requests, click here
At the beginning of the semester, respective faculty can submit to the printing and copying services unit an authorization form signed and stamped by the department delegating another individual within their department the task of requesting and receiving the printing of examination papers and confidential materials. (The delegation form covers either a specific examination paper or a specific time period to be signed by the faculty responsible for the examination papers. No printing of examination papers or other confidential materials will take place without the signed delegation form in the lieu of the respective faculty).
- Respective faculty, or designated department individual, to go in person with a hard copy of the examination papers or confidential materials to the printing shops and hand over the materials to the copying operator and wait for the materials to be printed and to receive them back.
Examination papers and other confidential materials may be dropped off at the print shop locations by faculty or designated individual every day except Tuesdays.

The copying operator, under the authority of the print shop general manager, is responsible for handling all the requirements and registering them in the logbook. Under no circumstances will examination papers or other confidential materials be released to a student or an individual not so delegated.
Students requiring copies of course material and handouts use the touch screen copy machines. Simply select the course number and material required and it will be automatically photocopied while you wait. Professors wishing to include their coursework in this system should submit the material to the copy center in hard copy or by email by the beginning of each semester.
We can print files submitted on flash memory or CD in black and white or full color.
We can scan your hard copy documents and create an electronic archive and backup system.
Copies can be made on white, green, blue, yellow or pink paper (colors may change according to market availability).
Paper type: We use 80g of paper for all standard photocopy jobs. If you would like to use a different type of paper, contact us so we can check availability and prepare it for you.
We provide plastic spiral binding, as well as easy and hotmelt binding.
The printing and copying services policies and procedures are available here.
