Deposit Funds

Besides being your official identification and access card on campus, your OneCard can serve as a convenient tool to allow you to access many paid services on campus.

How paying with your OneCard works

OneCards use declining balance technology similar to a debit card, but without the fees. You can load funds directly onto your card, and when you use it for paid services, the amount is deducted from your balance when you swipe.
