ATTENTION: UD Students, Faculty and Staff - Add value to your UD #1 FLEX card with the Value Transfer Station on the Lower Level rather than purchase Copy Cards!

The FLEX payment system for printing and photocopying uses both UD#1 ID cards (UNIVERSITY of DELAWARE ID cards) and new copy cards. Photocopiers and VendPrint Release Stations throughout the Library are in the process of being converted to the FLEX system. Two designated photocopiers on the Lower Level, one black and white and one color, will accept the old style of copy cards until August 2009.

Users without UD ID cards, please purchase and use the new style of copy cards for photocopying.

Copy cards are NON-REFUNDABLE and the funds are NON-TRANSFERABLE to Flex cards. 

New copy cards are available at the service desk on the Lower Level or from c opy Card dispensers located near the Circulation Desk on the first floor, and near the south elevator on the second and third floors.
You must have a $5.00 bill to purchase a card from a dispenser. The cost of the card is $1.00 and $4.00 is the initial value on the card.

Value can be added to either the UD1/FLEX card or new copy card at Value Transfer Stations located throughout campus, including the Lower Level of Morris Library, and at the Student Multimedia Design Center desk, also on the Lower Level of Morris Library.
