About Zip Card

The Zip Card is your official University of Â鶹ÊÓƵAPKID card and should be carried at all times.

The ID card is your tool to access your accounts and/or privileges. Presentation of the card may be required to access some University services such as: dining plans, library services, admission to athletic events, access to buildings, etc. Copies or digital images of the card will not be accepted as identification. Access to facilities or account funds may be denied if your account has been suspended by the University for administrative reasons, if you have deactivated your card or if your card is damaged and will not scan.

The card is the property of Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK and is non-transferable. Only the card owner may present the ID card for purchases and other privileges. Zip Cards will be confiscated if presented by someone other than the individual photographed on the card or if the card is involved in inappropriate or illegal use. Fraudulent use of the card will result in disciplinary action.

Information about the cardholder’s account will be disclosed to third parties only for the following reasons: (1) in order to complete a transaction (2) in order to comply with court orders or other applicable laws or (3) with the cardholder’s written permission.
