 The Prepaid Printing System allows students to print or photocopy without restrictions on the number of pages printed.
The charge per page will help LACC to offset operating costs.

To print, you need to have money in your Printing Account.
LACC students get a Prepaid Printing Account after registering for classes.
Your Prepaid Printing Username is the same as your UIA username. Your Prepaid Printing Account number is the your student ID number located on the front of the LACC student ID. Your password is the same as in your UIA account.
Library users can also print or photocopy by paying at the printer or photocopy.
