Adding $ to cards for Printing and Copying

SDSU Card machines allow users to purchase a Guest Copy Card as well as add funds to SDSUCards (recommended for all SDSU students, faculty and staff) or Guest Copy Cards. SDSU Card machines only take bills; no credit cards or coins.  The SDSU Bookstore and the campus markets can add funds from credit cards to SDSUCards.  Funds deposited on the SDSUCards work for printing, copying, and laundry, purchases in AztecShop Markets, the Bookstore, but not for meal plans.

The Copy Service Office or the Library have no access to or responsibility for the SDSUCARD machines. . If you have any questions regarding any policies and usage of these machines please contact the SDSUcard Office directly at (619) 594-6800 or (619) 594-3450. NOTE: Guest Copy Cards expire approximately one year after the date of purchase.
