Billing Information
Store balances for students will be sent to CalCentral automatically at the end of the semester. Charges will appear under “CalCentral – My Finances”.
Staff, group accounts, and students who opt out of CalCentral billing must complete payment by the deadline. Personal checks, money orders, and cashier’s checks made out to “UC Regents” are accepted. You may also mail checks. For Chartstring/department-to-department payments, please email inventionlab@citris-uc.org.

FAQ
What is the difference between an Individual and Research Level Maker Pass?
Research Level users gain additional access and support, including Ultimaker S5, Full Size Shopbot, early lab entry starting at 7:30am on weekdays, and one-on-one trainings with a Lab Manager (up to 2 hours/semester). Any fees incurred
by lab members can be billed to a chart string and not directly to the CalCentral account of the researcher, avoiding the need for reimbursement.
