Printing FAQs
What is Wepa?
Wepa is a printing service that allows students to upload their documents from campus and personal computers, tables and smartphones. Then, students can simply print from any of Whitman’s printing kiosks.
How much money do I receive for printing?
Whitman automatically allocates $35/year of college funds to each student. This cap on funds was put in place to discourage paper waste; however, additional funds are available from the college if students use their printing allotment. Students will not be charged for these extra funds.
What if I run out of printing funds?
If you run out of funds you can request more funds from the college – no questions asked and no extra charge!
How do I request additional funds?
Additional funds can be requested by emailing Wēpa at whitmanfunds@wepanow.com
How much does it cost?
For single-sided printing the cost is 6 cents for black & white and 35 cents for color. For double-sided printing the cost is 11 cents for black & white and 68 cents for color.
Where can I print?
Students can print at any Wepa print station across campus during regular building hours including:
- Reid Campus Center, first floor fireplace lounge

I am an employee. How do I print?
Faculty and staff are welcome to use the kiosks on an as-needed basis but should not be used as a replacement to department printers. Employees are provided the same quota as students.
Why did Whitman change the printing process?
WCTS wanted to make it easier for the Whitman community to print from any device without having to install any additional programs.
