Payment, Costs, & Refunds

How do I check my balance?

Two options:

1. Log in to any FIMS computer and check the amount listed in the green box on the top right corner of your screen.
2. Log in to your myFIMS Printing account and check the Summary tab.

How do I add money to my account?

1. Pay in cash at the FIMS Graduate Library service desk for a $5, $10, or $20 credit. Unfortunately, we do not have petty cash and can only accept exact change, $1/$2 coins and bills.
2. You will receive an automated email confirming the amount that was deposited to your account.
3. If necessary, log in to your myFIMS Printing account using your FIMS username and password to check your new balance.

Note: Master’s students will automatically have $5 available on their myFIMS Printing account when they start the program.

How much does printing and scanning cost?

Can I use the money from myFIMS Printing account at other libraries on campus?

No, you can only use this money for printing, copying, or scanning from devices on the FIMS server. These devices are located in the FIMS Nursing Building only.

Check with the service desks at other campus and affiliate libraries to learn how to print in those locations.

Can I get a refund for a print job that didn’t work?

If a print job fails due to mechanical or system reasons, you can submit a request for a refund through your myFIMS Printing account.

1. Sign in to your myFIMS Printing account using your FIMS username and password.
2. Access your Recent Print Jobs list.
