How to Load Money onto your Printing Account
There are two main ways to top-up your printing account – top-up kiosks and the online Uniprint Top-up Portal.
Top-Up Kiosks
You can use any of the top-up kiosks found in most University of Otago libraries to top-up your printing funds. You must have your Student ID card with you to use the kiosks, and you can use either EFTPOS or credit card (but not cash).
If you are staying in a Residential College, you may be able to make cash top-ups to your printing funds at the College.
Top-up kiosks can be found at:
- Central Library (Electronic Resources Area), Dunedin
- Robertson Education Library, Dunedin
- Science III Building Foyer, Dunedin (24 hour access)
- University of Otago Health Sciences Library, Dunedin
- University of Otago Canterbury Medical Library, Christchurch
- University of Otago Southland Campus Library, Invercargill
- University of Otago Wellington Medical & Health Sciences Library, Wellington
- Printing funds can be loaded by the Auckland Centre staff during office hours
Online Uniprint Top Up Budget Portal
You can top up your printing account online using your credit card at the Uniprint Top Up Budget Portal.
