Identification Cards

Identification cards (known as Smith College OneCards) are created using photos provided by entering Smith students. The OneCard IDs are then issued during central check-in, which is part of fall orientation. Students entering in January can pick-up their OneCard ID at the OneCard Office. In addition to serving as campus identification, the OneCard provides the following functions; library card, dining services card (including access to Dining Dollars), door access where equipped, and purchases via Campus Cash. Students should carry their cards with them at all times and are required to display them upon legitimate demand (i.e. at Ainsworth Gym, libraries and computer labs, or by faculty, administrative, Residence Life, Building Services, Dining Services, Campus Police, or other college personnel) to establish identification.

If a card is lost or stolen, a temporary card can be obtained at the OneCard Office. Once a temporary card is issued the user’s OneCard will no longer work until the temporary card is returned to the OneCard Office. Temporary cards work almost everywhere you use your OneCard. This includes meals, door access, the Campus Center Café, laundry, etc. However, because there is no barcode or photo on the card, it cannot be used at the library or on PVTA. It will also work at pay-for-print locations that require a card swipe, but not at those using your Novell login and password for payment authentication. Any balances the cardholder has in either Campus Cash or Dining Dollars are available through the temporary card.

A temporary card is valid for one week. It is the responsibility of the cardholder to come to the OneCard Office to either have a new OneCard printed or, if found, their old OneCard re-activated, prior to the expiration of the temporary card. There is a $20 charge to have a replacement card printed, but there is no charge to re-activate a found card. A $10 charge applies if the temporary card is not returned.

For information on how to suspend a lost card other than by getting a temporary card go to www.smith.edu/OneCard.

Students who are billed for room and board will have their OneCard credited with $25 in non-refundable Dining Dollars ($12.50 for students entering in January). This credit is intended as an option to house meals and may only be used at the Campus Center Café. Parents and students may also deposit funds in a separate Campus Cash account. Campus Cash is an optional debit account that can be used for purchases on and off campus. On Campus locations that accept Campus Cash include; the Bookstore, the Computer Store, laundry machines in houses, soda and copy machines on-campus, print stations in the libraries and computer labs, Campus Center Café, Campus Police and Central Services. For a listing of off-campus locations that accept Campus Cash go to http://www.smith.edu/its/OneCard/offcampus.html. All Campus Cash accounts are stored-value debit accounts, not credit accounts, and must maintain deposits sufficient to cover the cost of purchases. Deposits to Campus Cash can be made at the Value Transfer Stations located in the Campus Center, Neilson library, or the OneCard Office. Unused balances remain in the account and will roll forward from year to year as long as the cardholder remains a student. Upon graduation, withdrawal or dismissal from the College any unspent funds are refunded or transferred to the cardholder’s college account. By using Campus Cash the cardholder agrees to be bound by all account terms and conditions set forth in the Smith OneCard Terms & Conditions. The complete OneCard Terms and Conditions are available at www.smith.edu/OneCard or at the OneCard Office.

The card, related accounts, and access privileges are non-transferable. The individual identified by the card (i.e. Cardholder) is responsible for all usage on their card and is the only one authorized to present the card for services, access, or purchases. A student using a card that does not belong to them may have that card confiscated and be referred for disciplinary action. The card remains the property of Smith College. The college reserves the right to disclose OneCard records to law enforcement officials, college judicial boards, and college officials. The OneCard Office is responsible for the issuance of all OneCards and the maintenance of all OneCard readers. If a card does not function properly at any location, the card owner should seek assistance at the OneCard Office.

The OneCard office is on the second floor of Stoddard Hall room 24C. For our Drop-in hours or other information please contact the OneCard office at ext. 3082 or OneCard@smith.edu. More information on the OneCard can be found at www.smith.edu/OneCard.
