What is the Campus1Card?
The Campus1Card is the official card that is used as a Widener student ID card, library card, flexible spending debit card, meal plan card, residence hall access card, and Wellness Center access card.
The Campus1Card is also used as a Widener employee ID card and many of the services available to students are also offered to our employees. An informational
fact sheet is provided for Widener employees on the Campus1Card services available to them (PDF).
