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 on the SDSUCards work for printing, copying, and laundry, but not for meal plans.
Copy Services is NOT responsible for any monies lost or problems associated with 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.
