Library Printing

The Library utilizes a print-management system called Pharos to provide printing capabilities. The Pharos MyPrintCenter system allows you to:

  • upload print jobs to be printed
  • release print jobs at a specific printer in the library
  • view account balances that allow payment for print jobs

Login to MyPrintCenter

Adding Funds

Before you can print, you will need to purchase print credits and add funds to your MyPrint Center account.

Starting March 10, 2025, payments will be made through the campus Bursar's CashNet system. This change is to be in alignment with Upstate's financial practices where monetary transactions go through Upstate business channels. See Adding Funds for more information.
