You can transfer money to your electronic wallet of your thoska card at self-service terminals at top-up machines, e.g. in the entrance areas of the ThULB, in canteens, and cafeterias. You can top up your account using cash or your debit card. Here is a list of the top-up machines: uni-jena.de/en/thoska-card-students In addition to conventional cashiers, some canteens also have thoska checkouts, where you can only pay using your thoska card. During peak times, these checkouts often have shorter waiting times than the cash checkouts. Please note that you cannot pay only a part of your meal with your thoska card. If your credit is not sufficient to cover the entire meal, you have to pay it completely in cash. When returning recyclable bottles, the deposit can be returned directly to your electronic thoska wallet. Copier function Copiers and printers, which can be operated using the thoska card, are available at several institutions in Jena. The locations of these devices are listed at: uni-jena.de/en/thoska-card-students It is not possible to overdraw your electronic wallet. If your credit does not suffice to complete a print job, the order will be cancelled automatically and your card ejected. Please always remember to properly eject your thoska card from the device. If you forget to do this, your card will be blocked or an error code will be displayed when using one of the devices next time. In this case, please return to the device in question, insert your card again and eject it properly. If the problem persists or if you are unable to remember which device you used, please contact the Thoska Office. Printing function Laser and ink-jet printers are available at the Multimedia Centre. To use these, you have to transfer money on your printer account (Druckerkonto) which is part of your thoska card. For example, you can load your printer account using your electronic thoska wallet at the IT Service Centre.
