If you use up all your funds and need more, contact your program manager to see if there are additional funds in the program budget. Course readers can be made at ARC (see details below).

Printing
There are a wide range of machines available, from simple black and white printers for plain text on letter-sized paper, to printers that process fabric or make full-color posters. For further information about our printing services go to this page. There is an additional printer in the Faculty Lounge at 80 Carolina. To print from a computer lab, follow the instructions on this page. If you would like to print to any of CCA's lab printers from your laptop, please see the following instructions:

• Printing via Laptop (macOS) to Lab Printers
• Printing via Laptop (Windows) to Lab Printers
  

Copying
Faculty may use the copiers in the corridor outside the Learning Resource Center on the second floor of the SF main building, or the copier in Simpson Library.

Scanning
Faculty may use the scanning copiers in the corridor outside Lab D on the second floor of the SF main building (scan to a USB drive), or the scanning copier in Simpson Library.

Hours 

Monday - Friday: 7:30 AM - 11:00 PM

To create a Course Reader for ARC:

1. ARC does not have the space to hold printed copies for each student - they can only print readers on demand. 
2. Assemble the digital files for the reader.
3. Provide the digital file to the students.
4. The students can take the digital files to ARC for printing.

Often the most convenient way to produce a course reader is to upload PDF documents to a common site for students to access as needed. You may do this using Moodle, the college’s online learning management system (found at moodle.cca.edu - contact helpdesk@cca.edu for Moodle help), or you may also choose to use Google Drive or Google Classroom for this purpose. Students may then download and print as needed.

Occasionally a building or classroom may be locked when you arrive for class. If this happens, call Public Safety and an officer will be dispatched to let you in: SF 415.726.2061.

If the AV equipment in your classroom or lecture hall fails, call the Media Center: (415) 551-9240.

Please note that the Media Center is open 8am to 6pm Monday-Friday.

Where possible, arrive in the classroom a few minutes early to test technology before students arrive.

Faculty may borrow AV equipment, laptops, projectors and other technology from the Media Center for class-related use. The Media Center is located next to Timken Hall in the Main Building. Please make reservations a week in advance. Faculty who will use the same equipment repeatedly for a given course may also choose to make a reservation for an entire semester. For more details, got to the Media Center Portal page.
