Important Changes to Your UCF Card
Use your UCF Card to purchase textbooks before your financial aid disburses
The Office of Student Financial Assistance and the UCF Bookstore now offer access to a portion of your anticipated financial aid for the purchase of books up to three weeks before the beginning the semester.
Your current UCF Card is required to use this program. For more information, visit the Office of Student Financial Assistance website.
Off-campus use of the UCF Card will be discontinued
Effective May 1, 2009, the off-campus use of the UCF Card Purses will be discontinued. After this date, you may continue to use your purses on campus.
To Add Money to a UCF card
The SmartChip (located on the front of the UCF Card) is a multi-application chip that has the
ability to store a prepaid value directly on the card in two purses. Select from three convenient ways to add money:
In Person
Visit the UCF Card Services in the John T. Washington Center (Map). We're located between the UCF Bookstore and the Library.
Cash to Chip Machines
Visit one of the Cash to Chip machines located conveniently through out campus (Map) to instantly add cash directly to the Smart Chip.
WebRevalue
Using WebRevalue, anyone can conveniently load money
onto either purse 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via the Internet.
Step 1: Enter the student's 16 digit ISO number (located on the front of the UCF ID Card)
and last name.
Step 2: Choose Purse (1 and/or 2) and enter the amount you would like to add to the balance.
Include an e-mail address if you would like the student to receive an online notice of the transaction.
Step 3: Confirm the transaction.
Step 4: Enter your your credit card information using ePay, a secure site.
(The money will be charged to your credit card as a purchase, not a cash advance.)
Step 5: Students will need to visit one of the campus kiosks with their UCF Card in
order to add value to the SmartChip.

Can a parent view my transaction history or balance?
For a parent to receive financial information regarding purse funds, a Financial Information Release Waiver needs to be filled out by the student and submitted to the UCF Card Services office in person. (Note: Forms not submitted in person will not be processed.)
> Back to top
What if I lose my card or find someone else's card?
If you lose your UCF Card, there is a $15 replacement fee. Money is replaced on PIN-protected Purse 2. Unfortunately, funds on unprotected Purse 1 cannot be replaced. (Purse 1 is not PIN-protected because the vending machines do not support PIN pads.)
If you find a UCF Card, please drop it off at the UCF Card Services office in the John T. Washington Center as soon as possible to ensure the cardholder does not pay the $15 replacement fee. We will contact the cardholder to let them know we are holding their id card. If you can’t drop it off immediately, please call (407-823-2100) and we will inform the cardholder when they can stop by and pick it up.

Why are the purses merging and what does this mean to me?
In order to simplify the smartcard declining debit program, Purse 3 was merged with Purse 2 effective May 5, 2008. Your UCF Card will now have only Purse 1 (Vending) and Purse 2 (General Retail).
Purse 2 will be used for restaurants, retailers, bookstores and tuition. All new deposits will be placed on Purse 1 or Purse 2.
All vendors will continue to accept Purse 3 until your funds are depleted. All new funds added after May 5th will be added to Purse 1(Vending) and/or Purse 2 (General Retail/Tuition) only.
> Back to top
Why will the UCF Card no longer be accepted off-campus?
As of May 1, 2009, our current off-campus vendors will no longer accept the UCF Card purses for payment. With the addition of several new vendors and retail areas on campus, the students’ have many more choices that will meet their university needs.
> Back to top
How do I get a refund for the money on my purses?
The money on your purses will roll over from semester to semester and year to year. Funds can be refunded upon graduation, transferring or leaving the university for at least one semester. You must bring your card to the UCF Card Services office and we will debit the funds from your purses and fill out a refund request form. You will receive a check in the mail in 4-6 weeks at your permanent address on file at the Registrar’s Office. Please make sure your address information is updated.

About Us
The UCF ID Card is about to become a big part of your university life. It serves as a required form of identification for all students. You will need to present your card to receive the benefits of many services, including sporting events and discounts at the SGA Ticket Office.
The use of smartcard technology gives you the opportunity to move cashless through campus. Deposited funds can be used for purchases at vending machines, copy machines, computer labs, UCF Bookstore, UCF Health Center, Marketplace/Knightro's, restaurants, and many other on-campus merchants.
Your UCF Card serves as your debit card when you open an account with the SunTrust campus branch. If you purchase a meal plan through UCF Dining Services, it will be accessed with a swipe of your card.
Take note of the many cash-to-chip machines located around campus to add extra value to Purse 1 of your card without having to come into the office. WebRevalue is another secure and convenient option to add funds to your purses online.
Please be advised our office does experience periods of high demand during scheduled orientations and the first few days of classes each new term.
