This article provides information regarding the logistics of Wharton Printing.
Wharton Printing Account
- Full-time Wharton MBA students receive an initial free (& non-refundable) credit balance of $40 at the beginning of each semester.
- Full-time Wharton UGR students receive an initial free (& non-refundable) credit balance of $20 at the beginning of each semester.
- Wharton MBA for Executives students should contact their program office for information on print credit balances.
- Wharton Staff should contact their Wharton Computing representative for information on print credit balances.
PennCash v. Wharton Print Credit
Wharton Printing credit (provided to Wharton students) is always used first -- your PennCash account will only be debited once your Wharton Printing credit is exhausted. Non-Wharton students taking a Wharton class have printing accounts that draw funds automatically from their PennCash account.
- Add Funds: You can add funds to your PennCash account online at the PennCash website.
- Two ways to view your print balance:
- Tap your PennCard at one of the printers
- Navigate to MyWharton > All Links > Print Credit Balance
Graduating Students & Refunds
- Wharton Printing Credit: Non-transferable and non-refundable; carries over from semester to semester.
- PennCash: Upon graduation, any remaining PennCash funds will be reimbursed to you through your bursar's bill. Check your PennCash funds here.
