Hoof Prints printing stations will replace computer lab space printers at Munday Library, Trustee Hall, Johnson Hall and the Ragsdale Center. Find the nearest printing station on the Wēpa Print app or at wepanow.com/maps.

Students will receive a $10 balance for Hoof Prints. The $10 balance is equivalent to 125 monochrome pages per semester per student. See the printing price breakdown below.
Like the university meal plan, Hoof Prints credit is loaded on students' St. Edwards accounts semi-annually on July 1 and January 1. Unused balances from the July 1 term roll over into January 1, but unused balances on June 30 expire, and your Hoof Prints balance will reset on July 1. Once you have depleted this credit, you may continue to print at your own cost.
