Here it is only possible to pay without cash. We ask for your understanding that our advisors should not accept any cash due to transparency and security matters. Therefore it is only possible to pay with your student card, that is why you need to have credit on your student ID so that one of our advisors can transfer the desired amount to your printing account.

Transfer your own printing credit to other students
Under Transfers you can now transfer your own printing credit to other students. Just type the amount and the student's account name into the field and click on Transfer. In doing so you can easily transfer credit, which you do not want to use anymore, to a fellow student, who gives you cash for it.
