Printing a Document | IT Services | Seneca Students

Seneca students may print documents from the Computing Commons with their Seneca OneCard and can collect them at nearby printers.

The cost for printing in black and white is $0.05 while printing in colour is $0.20.  See instructions for loading funds 

 Step 1  Load Funds onto Your OneCard 

Check your balance in the OneCard app under Account Balances.
If you need to add funds, use the Fund Loaders near the ITS desk or add money online through the OneCard app.

To do this, open the app and select My Funds → Add Funds, then choose Employees\Students and sign in using your Seneca credentials. Once logged in, select Menu (top right) → Add Money, choose One Card Funds under Select Account, enter the amount and payment method, and complete the payment. Your balance will update shortly.

Amount that can be added on the app (Min $2.00, Max $1,000.00) CAD

 Step 2  Log In to a Campus PC

Use your Seneca email and password to sign in.
Printing is only available from campus computers (e.g., in the Computing Commons), not personal devices.

 Step 3  Download and Open Your Document

Download your file directly onto the campus PC and open it before printing.
This prevents blank or incorrect pages from printing.

 Step 4  Select Your Printer

Click the Print icon or press Ctrl + P to open the print menu.
