Paying for Printing

Cost

• Black and White: $.05 per page
• Color: $1 per page

How to Pay

You can add money to your U Card Campus Cash account 2 different ways: U Card cash-to-card machines or via the GET App.

1. U Card cash-to-card machines

If you have cash, you can put money on your Campus Cash account by using your U Card at any cash-to-card machine. They are located in the following places:

• Library first floor
• Kirby food court level by the ATMs
• Swenson Science Building by room 105 near the skywalk

2. GET App

You can also use the GET app to add funds to your Campus Cash account if you don't have cash, and you can use the app to check your Campus Cash balance. Download the GET mobile App from iTunes or the Google Play store.

Regardless of what method you use to add money to your account there will be a delay of up to 30 minutes before your funds are available for printing. You cannot print without money in your Campus Cash account. UMD cash cards are not accepted.
