Where do I get my UCard? How do I activate it?   

Chances are, you already have one!  All new students for fall 2009 received a UCard, and any cards printed prior to this can be re-encoded at UCard, Access and Parking Services (UCAPS) located in the University Corssing Building 220 Pawtucket St.  If you do not currently have a UCard, please find information based on your University status:

Once you have your UCard or have re-encoded your old card, all you need to do is activate your card online or over the phone.

Manage your UCard online   

Once you have activated your card you can add money, check your balance, or even report your card as lost stolen 24/7.  Remember, using a credit card costs $2.50 whenever you load UCa$h, but using your checking account is free!  Manage your card on the One Card Gives Back website.
