Print Credits

Each semester, all active students receive $9 in complimentary print credits* on their OneCard to accommodate accidental prints, printer jams, or missprints.

*CCE and ELI students not eligible. Print credits carry no cash value, and cannot be refunded or credited. Print credits are "use or lose" and don't rollover each semester. Charges for prints begin after the full $9 in print credits have been used.

Add Funds to OneCard/Hornet Bucks

  • Add funds using your debit or credit card through My Sac State and clicking on the OneCard icon under "Popular Tools and Resources," or through other deposit options.
