Scanning with CU on the GO gives you an opportunity to send handwritten class notes, official documents, and outlines of your hands directly to your Carleton email!

Instructions

Locate a CU on the GO machine and swipe your card.
Click the “Scan” button on the screen.
Select the “Email ME” icon on the screen to send the scanned document to your Carleton account. Please note that documents can only be sent to a Carleton email address.

Once you have selected the email address, select “Close” located in the top right corner of the screen.
If scanning a single page, lift the top portion of the printer and place your document face down on the scanner. Otherwise, load your pages in the document feeder found on the top of the machine.

Your document will then be sent to the designated email address.
