How do I pay for printing?
Students
Students have two options:
-
You can add pre-paid print credits to your Stanford ID card or to your Stanford Printing Card. To add pre-paid print credits to a Stanford ID card or Stanford Printing Card, go to printingcredit.stanford.edu (link works on Stanford network, Residential or VPN).
-
2. Enroll in the StanfordCardPlan (SCP), a credit card (with a $1,000 limit that resets each quarter) that can used for printing as well as at the Stanford Bookstore and several on-campus eateries and dining halls. Enrollment is open at the beginning of each quarter. Balance transfers upon the replacement of a Stanford ID card, but pre-paid credits will always be used before the Stanford Card Plan is charged.
Others
University visitors, visiting scholars, spouses/partners of current affiliates, retirees, and other affiliates can obtain and use a Stanford Printing Card, available at the circulation/loan desks at any Stanford Branch Libraries location. You will need to add pre-paid credits to your card using a debit or credit card prior to printing through this secure online portal. A one-time activation service fee of $5.00 will be added at setup.
