The SCAD Card is a multifunctional identification card with a magnetic strip encoded like a credit or ATM card. For the busy SCAD student, faculty or staff member, nothing is more convenient than the SCAD Card! Not only is SCAD Card your ID, but it also may be used as a debit card at college facilities and with retailers who participate in the SCAD Card program.
Using SCAD Card is easy! Once you have your SCAD Card, take it with you everywhere. To use, simply swipe SCAD Card through the card reader or scanner at any location that accepts it. Your balance is displayed or printed after each transaction.
The SCAD Card is available to all SCAD students, faculty and staff. Getting a SCAD Card and opening your debit account is easy as 1-2-3!
1. Have card, will travel…
Each student is issued an identification card during orientation. This identification card is your SCAD Card. Use it to access card-secure college buildings (including residence halls), attend college-sponsored events, use your meal plan, and check out books from the library. To receive your SCAD Card during orientation, present a photo ID (for example, driver’s license or passport). Faculty and staff are issued cards when they begin employment with the college.
