Note: Before printing, a one-time e-mail address registration must be performed. Please see the following instructions.

One-Time E-Mail Registration Process:

  1. Prepare an e-mail to [email protected]. Attach the document you wish to print.
  2. You will receive an e-mail response - click on the link to register your email address.
  3. You will be directed to your internet browser and may receive a message indicating that there is an untrusted connection/certificate. You may proceed – this is a trusted JHU website.
  4. The next screen will ask you to log in to release your print job. The first field asks for User ID. You must use your JHED ID and password. Your JHED ID is what you use to log into the portal to get to blackboard, ISIS and email. It is usually your first initial, some or all of your last name and a number. Then, select Log in.

  5. Your email activates automatically, and you will see the message below: Account Email Activation screenshot
