Open a Huskie Bucks account or purchase a copy card
Campus copiers do not take cash. Use your OneCard or purchase a copy card.
There are a few ways to get a copy card:
- Open a Huskie Bucks account at the NIU OneCard office, located in the lower level of Holmes Student Center. Complete a short form and make a minimum deposit of $25.00 to open your account.
- Purchase a Courtesy Card at any Value Transfer Station (VTS). Cards cost $1.00. Value must be added to the card before you can make copies. If you purchase a card at a VTS station, remember you must swipe your card to activate it.
- NIU Departments can get Credit Courtesy cards at itsforms.niu.edu > Copier Services. Copies on these cards will be invoiced monthly by ITS.
Adding value to a copy card
- Value Transfer Stations - Value can be added to Courtesy Cards originally purchased at a Value Transfer Station (VTS) or to NIU OneCards. Transactions are time sensitive (40 seconds), so have your Courtesy Card or NIU OneCard and cash ready before you begin your transaction.
- itsforms.niu.edu > Copier Services. Submit this form to add value to Department Debit Cards purchased from ITS. Department Debit Cards cannot be recharged at a VTS.
