Credit can also be added online by going to http://www.uvic.ca/pao. This site is the only official UVic Printing Account Ecommerce site and accepts Visa or MasterCard payments only. There is a $10 minimum and $100 maximum transtraction limit.

If you prefer to use cash it is accepted at the front desk of the Clearihue Computing Facility (CLEA112) or the McPherson Library Main Desk.

We do not refund excess funds on accounts. Therefore, only add enough credit to your account to meet your printing needs.
