No, the BAC does not print final documents anymore. However, you are welcome to look into printing and binding a book yourself; a Google search usually reveals some companies that will take care of this service.

You can see your final document on the BAC library's website. The final documents are kept in their own database. Please note that the books may not be fully cataloged until a couple of months after graduation.
