Course Pack Printing

It's time to start thinking about course packs for your January classes. Please send your course pack material to NSAC's Print Centre as soon as it's ready. Having our university print centre prepare your course packs means you save time and have them in your hands quicker. And with the greenest machines on campus, the environmental footprint will be that much smaller, which is good for everyone.

Send your course packs to Glenn Desmond in the Print Centre today.
