Before you start printing at VCU Libraries, you will need to add RamBucks on your VCUCard to pay for printing. RamBuck can be added at the Cabell Library Information Desk and at stations that are found on the first and second floors of Cabell. The Information Desk takes cash, check, card, and Apple Pay while the stations only take cash bills. 

How Do I Add RamBucks to my VCUCard?

Note: Print cards are also available for $2 at the Service Desk on the 1st floor. Each print card is sold with a $1 already loaded on the card for your convenience!

Note: Cabell does not allow for students to use their own paper for printing. In these instances, if other printing services are required visit Uptown Color in Richmond, off Main Street.
