Copy Cards

Guest Copy Cards

Guest Copy Cards may be purchased at Milner Library to be used in Milner's copiers, microfiche, and laser printers. If you have an active Redbird Card (either faculty/staff or student) you do not need to purchase a Guest Copy Card.


  • Charges

    Guest Copy Cards are sold in the cash-to-card machine located across from the Milner Circulation Desk.

    • The card itself is $1.00 and then money needs to be added to the card for the copies.
    • The cost is $0.08 per page for black and white copiers, microfiche, and laser printers. The black and white copiers also accept cash, at $0.10 per page.
    • The cost is $0.40 per page for color printing.

  • Inactive Fee

    If a Guest Copy Card has not been used for the past 18 months, it will be flagged as "Inactive" in the card system. A $5 per month inactive fee will then be charged until the card is either used or the balance is zero.

    If you have any questions, please contact the Redbird Card Office.
