How to Print at NC State University Libraries

NC State University students, faculty, and staff must have money in an AllCampus account to print at the Libraries.

The Libraries does not provide printing services to those without university AllCampus accounts. Printing is available at the FedEx Office store, across the street from the D. H. Hill Jr. Library, at 2712 Hillsborough Street.

Wolfprint operates the printing service for NC State University. More about Wolfprint.
