A $7.50 printing credit is added to active Cougar Cards at the start of every semester.

The account is charged for every side of a page that is printed.

• Black-and-white printing: 1.5 cents per side
• Color printing: 10 cents per side

After all print credit is used, additional printing is charged to Cougar Card ShastaBUCKS accounts.

• Your printing balance must be exactly $0.00 to charge to Cougar Card
• Add funds to your ShastaBUCKS account with AccessUH

The $7.50 printing credit can only be used for printing and copying. Printing credits do not roll over into the next semester.

Printing with a new Cougar Card

Newly issued Cougar Cards (including replacement cards) may show incorrect print balances if not properly connected to your CougarNet account. In order to establish a connection between your CougarNet account and your Cougar Card, users are required to visit the library, send a print job, and successfully release the job to a library printer. If problems persist, please contact the Cougar Card office.
