- Still Have Your Plastic Card?
For now, returning students should keep their physical Eagle Card until they are invited to upgrade. When your account becomes eligible, you’ll have the option to switch to the digital Eagle Card, but it’s not required.
You can choose to continue using your physical card if you prefer. However, only one version can be active at a time. Once your digital card is activated, your physical card will automatically deactivate.
No matter which version you use, every location that accepts the physical Eagle Card will also accept the Mobile ID.
- Add Cash to Card
Money may be deposited on the Eagle Card, in the form of cash, check, or credit card to be used in various places on campus.
