West Houston Institute

Computer Use

There are several computers available in the open area of the Learning Commons, in addition to a computer lab that can be reserved by faculty if not otherwise being used by the librarian for instruction or programming. 

Computer Use: Your HCC W # or staff/faculty login will provide you access to our computers. If you are a guest to HCC we can print a guest pass that will allow computer access for an hour. One pass per guest per day.

Printing: Printing is available from our public computers in both black and white and color. Black and white copies are 10 cents and color copies are 25 cents. Payment made by credit card are done through Eagle Print on the computer and cash payments can be loaded through the pay station in the library. The minimum charge is $1 and the pay station does not take coins. Any unused funds remain in the user's EaglePrint balance.

Laptops

The HCC libraries have over 1500 laptops available for current HCC students to check out and use either at home or on campus. Visit the Library Laptops page for more information and check with library staff for availability. 

Scanning

Scanning is available in full color and can be sent to HCC emails. Saving to a USB is available, but not always reliable in saving to all types of flash drives.
