RunnerCard Office > The RunnerCard

The RunnerCard is the student ID card, library card, health-services card, and copying/printing card. It provides you with a picture and a nine-digit identification number that is printed on the front of the card, along with a bar code. Your Social Security number is not on the card, nor is it in the magnetic strip on the back. To get your card, you must have your picture taken at the RunnerCard office. The RunnerCard office is located in lower level of the Walter Stiern Library, Room 1B.

Debit card

The RunnerCard serves as a debit card, with a limit of $300. You will be able to purchase goods and services at various campus outlets simply by swiping the card through a magnetic-strip reader. The computer keeps track of your card’s balance. You may add money to your card at the cashier's office or the Automatic Deposit Machines or ADM located in the library on the Lower Level and 2nd Floor.

Security

With the RunnerCard, your money is safe. No one else can use your card once you report it lost. As soon as you report it lost, your old card is deactivated so that only you have access to the cash via your new card. It costs $5 to replace the first time you lose it, $10 the second time and thereafter.

Maintenance

Treat your RunnerCard as you would any bank issued credit or debit card. Keep your RunnerCard away from all magnetic fields that may demagnetize or decode your card. Do not punch holes, bend or scratch the card.
