How do I see my balance?
-
Visit go.carleton.edu/webprint
-
Click the "Add Credit" link on the left side to see your current balance.
"Current Balance" refers to your Printing Account, or quota; "Schillers" refers to how many Schillers you have on your OneCard.
What happens if I don’t use all my printing money?
There is a common misconception about print quotas, specifically that a student's print quota references a financial award or dollar amount given to that student for the sole purpose of printing. Instead, the print quota simply sets an upper limit on free printing. If a student exceeds that quota, they are expected to pay for the extra pages themselves. If a student doesn't use the whole allotment of free printing, there is no refund because no money was awarded. On average, most students do not use up their allotment of free printing.
How do I transfer money to my printing account?
-
Visit go.carleton.edu/webprint
-
Log in using your Carleton username and password (or the username and password printed on your OneCard, if you are a Friend of the College).
-
Select the "Add Credit" link on the left side.
-
Select how much money you would like to transfer to your printing account.
NOTE: Smaller amounts are generally better; $1.00, for instance, is 25 black and white impressions. Money left in your printing account will be forfeited on August 1 of the following year.
