How do Guest Cards work?
Participants are issued Guest Cards at check-in, which allow tap access to their rooms and meals. Money may also be added to the card account to make purchases on campus.
How do I add money to my Guest Card?
Cash or credit/debit cards may be used to add funds to Guest Card accounts at any of the add-value machines on campus. These machines are located in the Sports Center, Commons, the Academic Center, and each of the residence halls. Note that funds cannot be added to the card account until the card is issued at check-in.
Can cash or credit/debit cards be used for purchases instead of the Guest Card?
Yes! However, some locations, such as laundry machines, accept only Guest Cards.
How do I check the balance on my Guest Card account?
Guest Card account balances may be checked at any add-value machine on campus.
How should I care for my Guest Card?
Do not store your Guest Card with your cell phone, near a wireless charger, or by anything magnetic, since this may damage the electronic chip inside your card. Do not punch holes in the card or allow the card to be bent, scratched, or left in extreme temperatures.
I lost my Guest Card. What should I do?
Lost Guest Cards must be reported immediately to Card Services (AC 112) or the Information Desk to protect your funds. When a card is lost or stolen, the account balance is not protected until the card is officially reported missing and deactivated, so do so promptly. The card account balance from the time of the deactivation will be available for use on your replacement card. If you have received a replacement Guest Card and later find your original, the original should be cut up and discarded immediately. Only the most recently issued Guest Card will be valid for accessing campus or purchasing.
What happens to the leftover funds on my Guest Card account at the end of the event?
Leftover funds may be refunded by visiting the Cashier’s Office (Administration Building, 1st floor) with your Guest Card Monday–Friday between 7:45 a.m. and 4 p.m. Funds expire if left on the Guest Card account after the event and will be donated to PCC.
