Copier Card

Once funds are deposited, copier cards can be used in on-campus copiers that accept LionCash+ (i.e. The copiers at the University Libraries). 

Request the Card

  • Issue an IDCC to "&HID" (IDHUB Central Desk) for the desired dollar amount plus the $5 new card fee.
  • Write that you need to purchase a new copier card and specify the user and/or the department in the "description" field of the IDCC.
  • An id+ staff member will contact you when the cards are ready for pickup.

Special Program Meal Card

Departments hosting an individual or group may purchase meal cards to issue to participants for use at on-campus dining locations. At the conclusion of the program, you will receive an invoice for the total amount of charges plus a $1 setup fee per card (up to a maximum of $25).

  • Complete the requisition form and mail it to the id+ Office (103 HUB-Robeson Center).
  • Please allow five to seven days for processing.

Access Cards

Departments hosting visitors that need access to University buildings secured by an electronic door access system may purchase access cards. Each access card has a unique 16-digit card number that may be setup in the University’s door access system by the area’s access coordinator. This allows the access card to be the mechanism used to gain access to the designated building.
