All students are issued a University of New Haven Campus Card. The card includes the following features: picture ID, 16-digit ISO number, proximity chip, 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 must have a current Campus Card and keep it 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. Once issued, the card is valid for 4 years or until you leave the University.  

Your card is issued at no charge; however, the lost/damaged card replacement cost is $20. Lost cards will be replaced by the Campus Card Office in the Bergami One Stop. You can make lost/damaged card payment using Credit/Debit Card to pay for a replacement card.  

Your card should be treated as a debit card - if you lose secure possession of the card, mark it as lost immediately through the eAccounts app. The University is not responsible for funds lost due to your card. If the card is lost, login to the eAccounts module or report the loss to the Campus Card office during business hours at 203.932.7062.  

Adding Funds to Your Card

Charger Cash can be used to make purchases at the University of New Haven Bookstore, on-campus vending machines, and other locations. 

There are three ways to add money to the Charger Cash account on your card. (This account works at all locations that take the card, including Dining Services.) You may add money to your card online. You must log in eAccounts (we recommend using the mobile app (info found on our support site)) to use this method and pay with a credit or debit card (Visa/MasterCard). Individuals providing support to students can also make guest deposits this way. Deposits may also be made by check to the Bursar's Office. Payment by check is subject to verification of available funds.
