RaiderCard GUIDE

Beginning Fall 2010, all College Credit students get a new RaiderCard!

·  The RaiderCard will replace the old Student ID cards. Old ID cards are no longer valid.

·  A $15 access charge per term will be charged to all College Credit students at the time of registration. The charge will cover fees that most schools charge separately and will entitle the student to be issued a RaiderCard.

·  Students on Financial Aid must use the new RaiderCard to get books at the College Stores.

·  Non-Credit students are not required to get a RaiderCard but may purchase a RaiderCard if they want to. A $15 per semester charge will apply.

Here is what your RaiderCard will do!

The RaiderCard is your campus ID card, and a

prepaid card all rolled into one.

Now you’ll use your RaiderCard — for:

·  Identification

·  Library checkout

·  Bookstore purchases

·  Dining

·  Printing and copying

·  Vending - snacks and drinks

·  Obtain free admission to athletic events, and

certain cultural events offered by the college.

There is a $15 non-refundable, per term, access charge for the RaiderCard, $5 of which is value added to the card for campus purchases for that term.

·  The $15 charge will be automatically added to registration fees when a college credit student enrolls. Non-credit students must register for a RaiderCard "class" and the pay the $15.00 charge for the "class".

·  The $5 value added expires at the end of the term if it is not used.

·  Students may add additional value to their cards at any time. This value will not expire.

·  Students are only issued one RaiderCard. The RaiderCard is re-activated each time a student re-enrolls and pays all fees, including the $15 per term access charge.

·  Lost or damaged cards may be replaced for a $15 charge.
