Your AC Card. More than an ID card.

Your AC Card can be used to:
- Access labs & rooms
- Eat on campus using your meal plan
- Shop & pay on campus
- Connections: The Campus Store
- The Print Shop
- Print on campus
- Borrow equipment, library books and more
- Save $ both on & off campus
- Identification for exams, Health Services, access to the Jack Doyle Athletics and Recreation Centre, and more

Funding the Lifestyle
It’s easy to add funds, check your balance and view transactions in your AC Cash Account. The best part is that there are no service charges when you use AC Cash on campus!

-
- Visit your account page.
- Click on “AC Card Account Login”
- Choose “Parent” or “Student” in the login box
- If you chose “Student”, enter your student number & PIN (when logging in to your account for the first time, your PIN is your date of birth in the following format – yyyymmdd). If you chose “Parent”, enter the student number & last name.

AC Cash vs. Meal Plans
Your AC Card has two accounts; a meal plan account and an AC Cash account. What’s the difference? AC Cash accounts are used to spend money on campus wherever AC Cash is accepted. Meal plan accounts are used for food only. Find out more about meal plans here!
What if I lose my AC Card?
It is important to report a lost or stolen card to Card Services as soon as possible. If your card is linked to a Meal Plan it is important to report a lost or stolen card immediately to Food Services (613.727.4723 x7615) or log in to Your Account and deactivate your card. They will automatically invalidate the card to prevent fraud. The Card Services Office in E120 (Student Commons) can replace any lost, stolen or damaged cards for a $25.00 fee.
