Payment Options:
UA CatCards (Campus-wide)

  • Individual CatCards: If you are a UA/AHSC faculty, staff or student, you may use your CatCard to pay for self-service printing and photocopying at all UA libraries including the Arizona Health Sciences Library (AHSL). You may add value your CatCard at the Cash to Chip machine in the AHSL lobby.
  • Visitor CatCards: These cards may be purchased from the Cash to Chip machine in the AHSL lobby. The cost is $10.00, which includes a one-time purchase fee of $5 and $5 of spendable value for use in printing or photocopying. Value may be added to this card at the Cash to Chip machine in the AHSL lobby at any time. The machine will accept bills up to the $20 denomination.
  • Departmental CatCards: UA departments may purchase Departmental CatCards from the CatCard Office. The cost is $37.50, which includes a preloaded value of $30.00 and a one-time card fee of $7.50 per card. The Department cards are encoded so they can ONLY be used in copy, microfiche and printer machines. This prevents them from being used in any other type of chip payment device and allows for compliance with the requirements of Sponsored Projects. Use an Interdepartmental Billing Form (IBF) to charge to a UA account or use the the object code 4850. When funds on the card are exhausted, value may be added to the card only at the CatCard office on Main Campus using another IBF Form.

Photocopy Debit Cards/Vendamat (AHSL photocopiers only)

  • Individual Photocopy Debit Cards (Vendamat): You may purchase individual photocopy debit cards from Copy Technology Services (CTS) for $1.50. These debit cards are white with a maroon logo. To activate the card and add value to it, insert the card into any of the self-service photocopiers and deposit coins or bills in $1, $5 or $10 denominations into the machine. The amount you deposit will be added as value on your Vendamat Card. Pennies and bills in other denominations will not be accepted. When you make a photocopy, the card will be debited. Value may be added any time at the self-service photocopies or during business hours in Photocopy Services.
  • Individual Photocopy Debit Cards (Preset): Debit cards with pre-set values may also be purchased at Copy Technology Services. These cards can be purchased in increments of $14.00 (200 copies). Value may be added any time at the self-service photocopiers or during business hours in CTS.
  • Limited Photocopy Debit Cards: These cards are sold with a pre-set number of photocopies -- 200, 400, 500 or 600 -- and may only be purchased with a UA Account. These white cards with a blue logo are different from the individual photocopy debit cards and value cannot be added to them at the self-service photocopiers. Value may only be added to Limited Photocopy Debit Cards at Copy Technology Services.

Cash

  • Self-service photocopiers accept coins (except for pennies) and bills in $1, $5 and $10 denominations. Self-service printers accept coins (except for pennies) and bills in $1 and $5 denominations.
