Registering Your Card

Registering your WESTCONNect Card is required to print on campus and is a one-time process. However, if you replace your card, you will have to register again.

1. Swipe your card at the release station.

2. You will be prompted for a Login ID. This is your Western username, i.e. smith001. Type your username and then press next.

3. Type your password and press next.

4. Once successful, you will see a window that displays your balance. If you’ve submitted a job to print, it will also appear there, and you can release it to the printer.

Once registered, you may now also submit jobs using Mobile Print. Learn more here.
