Account and credit

How to create an account

  • UCLouvain students and staff

Your account is created automatically. Your access card automatically links the copier to your online account.

You use your UCLouvain username and password to access it from a computer (to purchase account credit or start printing from myPrint).

  • External user with an access card or day pass

You can create a user account via the myprint.uclouvain.be platform.

  1. Log in to myprint.uclouvain.be and click the ‘myPrint’ icon.
  2. At the bottom of the page, click ‘Create account’.
  3. Enter your email address, create a password, and click ‘Create account’.
  4. You will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. You must validate this confirmation for your account to be activated.
  5. When your account is activated, you will automatically receive a second email which provides you with an eight-digit user code and a four-digit password. You will be asked for this user code when connecting to a copier and when you want to purchase credit online.

When you receive your user code, you can purchase account credit via credit machines, library reception desks, or online via myprint.uclouvain.be
