Introduction

Why transfer credit?

  • It is Immediate. You or a classmate needs to print ASAP, is low on print credit after hours or on the weekend. Students can immediately transfer credits to each other without needing to purchase credits and wait for them to be applied to their account.
  • You are done in Art & Design (graduating, transferring, etc.). We can't issue refunds, but YOU can transfer your surplus print credit to another student.

Bartering is encouraged! If you don't transfer your surplus credit, it will go to waste.

To transfer credits, you must know the transferee's account name. Normally this is the same as the Cal Poly user identity (the Username they use to log into Cal Poly services, and also their email address. You can:

  1. Ask the user.
  2. Peek at their PaperCut balance window (user name is at the top).
  3. Ask the IT tech for it.
