CAMPUS SERVICES

ROADRUNNER CARD

The Roadrunner Card, issued through Campus Services, requires a personal photo for creation. Photos are typically taken during orientation but can also be taken anytime at the Campus Services office. Before the photo is taken, students must present a valid form of identification

The Roadrunner Card is used as your primary identification on campus and allows for entrance to the Fitness Center, Student Life events, and Athletic events. Your card also allows you access to print on campus, check out books from the library, and door access if you live in Mashburn Hall. Enrolled students receive $15 in free print credit each semester, automatically loaded onto their Roadrunner Card. This credit rolls over from Fall to Spring and Spring to Summer, but all unused funds expire at the end of the Summer semester. Each Fall, the balance resets to $15 for the new academic year.

Students can add money to their Roadrunner Cash account, then use their Roadrunner Card to make purchases at the Bookstore, Roadrunner Café, Rage Café, Campus Services, and select vending machines. Roadrunner Cash can also be used to print if students run out of their print funds. Roadrunner cash can be added via cash at Campus Services or online via credit/debit card at the Eaccounts website or visit our Roadrunner Card page.

Students receiving financial aid funds will have them automatically disbursed to their Roadrunner Card for a two-week period. After this time, the funds will be removed from the Roadrunner Card and transferred to the student's BankMobile account. This two-week window includes the week before classes begin and the first week of classes.
