Pay4Print allocation

Business students receive Pay4Print allocations, which may be used in locations across both campuses. Funds are loaded per semester and are available until they are depleted or the semester ends (whichever comes first, use it or lose it.) Most students' allocations load automatically. If your first major is in another school and your second in business, email chanja@vcu.edu to have your allocation loaded manually. P4P allotments per semester are as follows: 

• Undergraduate Full-time $18.80; Part-time $4.80
  - For declared business undergraduates only, includes double-majors, not applicable to BFO
  
  
• Graduate: Full-time $23.50; Part-time $6.00
