Allotment and print funding at IU

On this page:


Overview

At Indiana University, the IU Print service provides on-campus printing for students, faculty, and staff. Managed print services are available for internal departments and organizations.

Check your allotment balance

To check the balance of your IU Print allotment:

  1. Go to Mobile Print.
  2. If prompted, log in with your IU username and passphrase.

  3. Look in the bottom left corner of the screen, under the "Payment Method" area. Your remaining allotment and CrimsonCard plan balances are shown individually.
Important notes for students:
  • As a student, you only need to add supplemental printing funds for plotter printing. You should not add CrimsonCash for printing unless it's for plotting.
  • If you've exceeded your standard print allotment and still need to print, contact your campus Support Center.

How funds are deducted from your accounts

When you print, credits and funds will be deducted from your accounts in the following order (if applicable):

  1. IU Print Allotment
  2. IU Print Departmental
  3. CrimsonCash (for plotter printing only)

Plotter printing

Plotter printing is available to students, faculty, and staff at IU Bloomington and IU Indianapolis. Prices between campuses differ and are subject to change at the beginning of an academic year.

Standard print allotment funds are not usable as payment for this service; use CrimsonCash deposits instead. A $2.50 processing fee applies to online and in-person deposits.

Note:
If your campus isn't listed below, check with your department for oversize print options.
