PaperCut: Student Printing & Copying

Launch the PaperCut App

All money added to a student's account remains until used. There are no refunds for money students add to their Papercut account.

Learn the Basics

The PaperCut software manages all student printing accounts and can be used for copying.

Students must add funds to their PaperCut print accounts before printing or copying. You can do this in two ways: 

  1. Cash: Visit the library in Burns Hall 1304, the Learning Commons (Burns Hall 1217), or the Washington County Information Commons (room 111). No minimum requirement. 
  2. Credit/Debit Card: Connect to the PaperCut software from a campus Wi-Fi connection. Add  a minimum of $2.00 for credit cards or $5.00 for debit cards.
  • Go to papercut.nwacc.edu and login using your NWACC username/password
  • Click on Add Credit on the left hand side
  • Choose the amount you would like to add.
  • Fill out the payment information.
  • Click Submit.

Handle Special Printing Needs

Library staff cannot always support special printing or copying needs, such as printing on special paper or using custom layouts. Standard, white 8.5" x 11" paper is loaded in all devices, and no other paper type or size is available.

The Library in Burns Hall 1304 sells transparency sheets for 50¢ cash only and can help students copy onto them.

At peak times of the day or for high volume jobs, we may ask you to return at a less busy time or direct you to other service providers.

Thank you for your understanding.
