How to top-up your DS-Print credit
Many Colleges and Departments use the University-wide Common Balance, while some operate their own Local Balance scheme, which may include some free credits. There's a full list below.
Local Balance credits
Ask your local IT staff about topping up your Local Balance credits. You can check your balance online via the My DS-Print portal.
Common Balance credits
You can top-up your Common Balance online using the My DS-Print portal, or with cash at some participating institutions – including our own Service Desk. The minimum top-up is £1, which buys about 20 black and white A4 sheets of printing or copying.
