SHU ID Card

The University has adopted the Transact system to create a simplified means for identification and commerce transactions on campus. Students must carry their Student Identification Card at all times and must show it to campus officials or their designees upon request. The ID card acts as your SHU Library card, meal card, door access control, and entrance to student events.

SHUCash is the convenient, cashless way to pay off campus at the area's most popular businesses. A prepaid, stored-value account that's part of your SHUCard, SHUCash has you covered with whatever you need, whenever you need it, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. 

From copy, laundry and vending machines, to the game room, post office and campus store, you can use SHUCash. Family members can deposit funds onto the SHU ID Card with knowledge of your ID number at SHU Card and choose Make Guest Deposit. Students and employees can also use the PHIL (Payment Headquarters in Location) machine on campus in the Main Academic Center building near the Student Union Office to make a deposit.

The SHU ID card can also be used at select off-campus merchant locations to facilitate additional commerce transactions. For a list of off-campus merchant locations, please go to SHUCard Participating Merchants.
