ID Cards
Your University ID Card is not only an identification card, but it’s also an access card to certain campus buildings and a debit card at participating campus locations. You can add funds to your account, check your balance and review your transactions online.
Once your OneCard account is activated and you have deposited money into your account you can then draw on these funds by presenting your ID Card at participating campus locations.
If your card is lost or stolen you can inactivate and reactivate your card if you find it before you order a replacement online at https://onecard.usciences.edu/oneweb/.
How the card is used
The large magnetic strip on the back of your card contains your meal plan and OneCard Account identification number. This allows you to access your meal plan and your OneCard Account. This is an on-line system. There is no actual value on the card. All the transactions are maintained in the host computer. If you lose your card all of your present account value is transferred to your new ID card.
Lost cards are replaced at the Office of Student Auxiliary Services in Kline Hall Room 102.
Important Information
Keep your card with you at all times-don't lend it to anyone else.
DO NOT punch holes, affix stickers, or in any other way make modifications to your ID card. Such practices may create problems when trying to use your card for Official University business and card swipe functions!
Don't lay the card down on any magnetic surface.
Problems with your card, meal plans, debit stripe, or OneCard Account may be addressed at the Office of Student Auxiliary Services- Kline Hall Room 102 or contact t.reilly@usciences.edu.
