CAMPUS1CARD

What is the Campus1Card?

The Campus1Card is the official card that can be used as an ID card, library card, flexible spending debit card, meal plan card, residence hall access card, and Wellness Center access card.

Features of the Campus1Card

Debit Accounts:

1)  Aramark Dining Dollars – this account is activated when a student has a Resident or Commuter meal plan.  Aramark Dining Dollars can be used in any Aramark food service location on campus (Dining Hall, RFoC Express, Pioneer Pantry, Java City, and Quiznos).

          (Please note:  Aramark Dining Dollars that are associated with the Resident meal plans are to be used during the academic year, which ends on the last day of exams in May. They do not roll over into future years. Aramark Dining Dollars associated with Commuter meal plans must be used in the semester they are purchased.) 

2)  PRIDE Bucks – points are purchased and can be used in the following locations:

• Campus Bookstore
• Laundry Facilities (Resident Students)
• Vending
• Student Health Center
• Parking & Library Fines (Enrollment Services)
• Printing and Copying
• Aramark Food Service locations

Deposits can be made to your PRIDE Bucks account at anytime at the Office of Enrollment Services, by mail, by fax, by phone, or at any one of the three Cash Value Terminals on campus. No cash withdrawals are allowed. Funds not used will carry over into future years.

3)  Printing Dollars – students will receive 400 pages per semester to use in the University Computer labs and the Library.  
   
          (Please Note:  Printing Dollars are not for use in the copy machines.  They are to be used during the current semester.  They do not roll over into future semesters.)

***Students who have Aramark Dining Dollars and Printing Dollars*** these   accounts will be used first in their respective locations.  When these funds are depleted, the expense will automatically come out of the PRIDE Bucks account, if funded.

Library Card

Students will use their Campus1Card for Library services.  This is for On-line library services as well as in the Library.  The 14 digit barcode located on the back of the Campus1Card is used for the Library.

ID Card

Students are required to carry the Campus1Card at all times.  They may be required to present these cards to use services on campus.  Campus1Cards are not transferable, cannot be borrowed, and may not be altered.  The first Campus1Card is issued free.  The ID card is expected to last the length of the student’s time at Widener University. 

Report lost or stolen Campus1Cards immediately to the Campus1Card Office (610-499-1018) or the Campus Safety Office (610-499-4200).
A replacement fee of $25.00 will be charged for lost, stolen or damaged cards. Replacement cards can be obtained in the Enrollment Services Center in Lipka Hall.

Your Campus1Card has value, so it is important to take care of it properly.  To prevent damage, keep your Campus1Card in the protective cardholder that is given with the card. Replacement plastic cardholders can be purchased for $1.00 at the Campus1Card Office.
