Laundry access for LP apartment students is active from 6am-11pm daily.

This non-refundable, annual credit does not roll over from year to year. Once the allotted $120 has been spent, the printing system will draw from Husky Dollars.
All jobs sent to the printing queue are available to print for up to 12 hours. Cost is determined on a per-page basis and varies depending on paper size and the type of printer used.
You can track your print balance and transactions, the number of print jobs submitted, and the number of pages printed.
