Printing
Once you have a log-on you'll have an initial print account set up with a credit related to the course you're doing. Once this is used, you'll need to top up the account yourself if you wish to continue to print. Payments can be made to the Information Centre cashier at either campus or by EFTPOS at Ako Awe at Windermere.

BayLearn
BayLearn is our online, one-stop student learning shop. It’s an integral part of many programmes, making information and materials like readings and course notes available online when you need them.
