This article provides guidelines on how to locate and operate all Wēpa printers on campus. Step-by-step instructions are included for a variety of devices and printing methods, helping students print their documents quickly and efficiently.

Printing is available for all students, using the Wēpa printing system on campus. This guide will help you access and use this system on campus. It covers:

What is Wēpa?

Wēpa is a printing service that allows students to upload their documents from campus and personal computers, tablets, and smartphones. Then, students can print from any of Whitman's Wēpa printing kiosks.

How do I log in to the printing kiosks?

There are different ways to log into the printing kiosks:

  1. Swipe Card. Insert your card into the card swipe area and pull it out promptly. When swiping your card, the first time to log in, the kiosk will require you to create a six-digit PIN. You will need to enter this PIN each time you swipe in thereafter.

You can reset your PIN, if forgotten, by logging in to your account using instructions found later on this page ("How to access my Wēpa account").

  1. Wepa Print App. You can also log in by opening the Wēpa Print app on your phone, pressing "Tap to Login" or the little robot at the bottom right hand. Then rest your phone against the yellow NFC login icon (the 5 curved lines) on any Wēpa kiosk.

  2. Directly. You can also click the link on a Wēpa kiosk touchscreen that allows you to log in using your Whitman credentials.

How is printing charged?

2026-27 Pricing

As part of efforts to address budget challenges and align with best practices in sustainability, most students will be required to pay for campus printing starting July 1, 2026.

Students with especially high financial need (about 25% of students, as determined by the Office of Financial Aid) will be provided with a $35 credit for the 2026–2027 academic year to cover the cost of submitting printed assignments. When the $35 is exhausted, these students will also be required to pay for printing. Students who will receive printing funds will be notified at the beginning of the Fall semester.

Paying for prints

  • Charge to your student account at a campus print kiosk

  • Pay by credit or debit card at the kiosk or through the online print portal

Tips for Reducing Printing Costs

Make the most of your credit by following these cost-saving strategies:

  • Print double-sided (duplex) whenever possible — it’s cheaper than two single-sided pages

  • Use black & white (mono) printing instead of color for most documents

  • Print multiple pages per sheet when content allow

  • Review documents digitally before printing to avoid unnecessary pages

  • Leverage digital tools like collaborative documents, projectors, and screens for group work
