When you register, the University of Vic-Central University of Catalonia gives you an initial balance of 30 €, which is increased by 3.75 € every month. 0.03 € will be deducted from your credit for each printing job. Please note that the balance does not accumulate from one course to another and is not refunded if it is not fully spent at the end of the course.
If you run out of the credit that the University gives you when you register, you can wait for the monthly top-up or buy 5 € of credit with a credit/debit card through the Virtual Campus or the Printing portal. This is the route you have to follow:
Main page > Procedures > Request for print balance increase
Once you enter the request page you will choose between a balance increase of 5,00€ or 10,00€ and after confirming you will be asked for the bank card details to make the payment. Once the payment has been made the print balance will be updated automatically.
The Printing portal is a space where you can check your printing account: printing record, credit available, ID number, etc.
