Currently-enrolled Credit Students

Currently enrolled credit students are provided with a free allocation of prints for use in any of the College’s computer labs and Library Learning Commons. The number of prints is set to an amount that will accommodate the vast majority of student printing needs. Students will use their accessBCC user name and password to log on to all computers. When a student prints, a box will appear informing them how many pages they are about to print and the total cost of the print job. Students who deplete their greenPRINT account will need to deposit Bristol Buck$ at the Student Accounts Office (G) Building in Fall River or online on the Campus Card Portal. Costs per print for credit students are 10¢ for black and white and 25¢ for color prints but could change periodically.
