Why is a second purse needed for myPrint?
Every student receives at the beginning of each semester a printing allocation, which corresponds to a certain amount of money. In order to avoid that the students consume this amount at the cafeterias, restaurants or vending machines, it was decided to transfer the money on a purse separate from the regular CAMIPRO purse. This is why we have created a second purse on your CAMIPRO card: the myPrint purse, to be used exclusively in the myPrint system.
How can I get my CAMIPRO photo in digital format?
If you want to get your CAMIPRO photo in digital format, you need to connect to people.epfl.ch. Then you click on the link down right called “login”. After logging in with your Gaspar password, you reach your profile. You can right click on your photo, and save it locally to your computer.
