Harden Hall Renovation Project
The library's temporary location in Gries Hall has printing available on the first floor in room #121.
All NMU students, faculty, and staff must have money (CatCa$h) in their NMU ID (WildCat Express Card) account to print on campus. The printers on campus are networked, so NMU students, faculty, and staff can print from almost any computer to a printer on campus.
- Two HP Black & white printers along with the Xerox copier / scanner / color printer, are located on the first floor of Gries Hall, room #121.
- The CatCa$h machine, for adding money to your WildCat Express Card, will also be located in Gries Hall, room #121.
- The Jacobetti Center maintains a black & white printer in the commons area near room #123.
- The Physical Education and Instructional Facility (PEIF) maintains a black & white printer in the commons area near the classrooms on the second floor.
- Copies are paid for using CatCa$h on your WildCat Express Card.
The machine for adding CatCa$h to a Wildcat Express Card is located in room #121 of Gries Hall, on the first floor.
Adding CatCa$h to Wildcat Express Card
You can add CatCa$h to your NMU ID (Wildcat Express Card) via the machine located in the lobby of the library ($1 minimum). Additionally, you can add CatCa$h online with a credit card. There is a $10.00 minimum deposit when using a credit card. See the instructions below.
- Login to GET with your NMU id/password.
- First-time users will need to provide an NMU email address and a phone number.
- Once logged in, click the "Add CatCa$h" link and follow the directions. You have the option at the end to save your credit card information for future use.
- You can also have family or friends add CatCa$h to your WildCat Express Card. From the main Accounts menu, fill out the "Ask for Funds" section. The system will send an email to whomever you designate, allowing them to add CatCa$h to your account.
- In the event that you lose your WildCat Express card, use GET to report it lost. Your WildCat Express Card will then become inactive, preventing unauthorized use.
- Be sure to logout when you have completed your transactions.
