Campus Card & eAccounts
Campus Card
All students, faculty, and staff are issued a University of New Haven Campus Card. The card includes the following features: picture ID, 16 digit ISO number, proximity chip for accessing smart card readers, access to online and in-house University of New Haven library services, and optional paid access to dining, vending, and third party vendor services. All students are required to have a current Campus Card and must keep the card with them when on campus to identify themselves as a member of the University of New Haven community. Some events may require ID to be displayed to gain entry.
Your card is issued at no charge; however, the lost/damaged card replacement cost is $20. Lost and damaged cards will be replaced by the Campus Card Office in the One Stop, Bergami Hall room 143. You must pay for your replacement ID at the card office by using Visa, Master Card, Discover, or Apple Pay. The card office does not accept cash.
All students are asked to submit their initial photo online, provided it meets specific requirements (How to submit your photo for approval). If needed, first year and transfer students are photographed for their Campus Card during SOAR (Student Orientation and Registration). Cards are issued at the beginning of the semester for new/incoming students. Other incoming undergraduate and graduate students, as well as faculty and staff, are issued throughout the year as needed. For more detailed information on this process please visit https://studentsupport.newhaven.edu/campus-card/.
Your card should be treated as a debit card; if you lose secure possession of the card, disable it immediately through the eAccount app (How to download the eAccount app) or report the loss to the Campus Card office during business hours (203) 932-7062. The university is not responsible for funds lost because of the loss of your card.
If Charger Cash has been added to the card, it can be used to make purchases at the University of New Haven Bookstore, the Post Office in Maxcy Hall, and a number of local businesses including Subway, 7-Eleven, Dunkin Donuts and other locations.
