Pay For Print

The Los Angeles Valley College “Pay for Print” services can be used at the Computer Commons located on the second floor of the Library & Academic Resource Center, room 234, and at various other locations throughout the campus. This system allows students to print without restriction on the number of pages printed for 10 cents per page.

At the Pay for Print station, the cash machine accepts dollar bills, quarters, dimes and nickels. The Pay for Print system can be used from any workstation in the Computer Commons.
