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