Printing Credit Pilot Program
For the 2024–25 academic year, all KSAS and WSE undergraduate students will have a $4.00 “printing credit” allocated to their J-Cash account. The status of the printing credits can be viewed in the Transact e-Accounts app, available on the iOS App Store or Google Play. Please note that the printing credit balance will not be displayed at the Pharos Print Station—you must use the e-Account apps to view the balance. The credits can be used at any STAR or Sheridan Libraries printer on the Homewood campus and unused credits will expire at the end of the academic. Questions or feedback can be submitted here.
