Overview

Every enrolled ECU student is allotted a $30 print allowance each academic year. Allocated from student technology fees, each time you print a class assignment through the Mobility Print service or computer lab printer, your balance adjusts accordingly. There is no charge to scan a document.

All Pirate Print jobs are printed in computer labs or wirelessly through a Pirate Mobility printing station on campus and connected to the eduroam network. See the Related Articles of this page for a an overview of the Pirate Print program and locations.
