Changes to student printing

Student printing will change to use secure printing. Printing, copying and scanning will be possible in the Technobothnia and in the F351 lobby of Fabriikki. The new system will also allow students to print from their own computers. The balances of the old printing system will not be transferred to the new system, but all users will receive new balances (120€). Tritonia printing will remain unchanged and will be done through the Princh system.
 
The change will take place during week 47. For further information see https://it.uwasa.fi/guides/secure/en/student/Student+printing
