How do I print my schedule or other reports in myMadisonCollege?

Upgrades to myMadisonCollege have helped make reports easier to print. You can use the browser file-print option to print when using myMadisonCollege. However, you may need to adjust some printer dialog settings to get exactly what you want to print out. If you encounter problems, one suggestion is to copy and paste information into a word processor and print that document. Print Screen may also be a useful tool.

Many students ask how to print their class schedule in calendar view because it may be difficult to adjust the settings to get this to print all on one page. You may want to add your classes to your student email calendar as recurring appointments, and print using that system.
