All students, faculty, and staff are issued a UNH Campus Card. The card includes the following features: picture ID, 16 digit ISO number; optional access to Dining and Vending services, and online and in-house UNH library services.
Freshmen and transfer students are photographed their Campus Card during SOAR, the student orientation. Cards are issued at the beginning of the Fall semester for those students. Other incoming undergraduate and graduate students are issued throughout the year as needed, as are replacements. In rare cases where a student is unable to come to the Campus Card Office to be photographed, a card can be issued using a digital photograph. However, these requests must be approved by the Director of Academic Computing and the head of the department or program requesting the ID.
If Charger Cash has been added to the card, it can be used to make purchases at the UNH Bookstore, the Post Office in Maxcy Hall, and a number of local businesses including Quiznos, Subway, CVS, and other locations. All students are required to have a current Campus Card and must keep the card with them when on campus to identify themselves as a member of the UNH community. Some events may require ID to be displayed to gain entry. more info about Charger Cash
Once issued, the card is valid for 4 years or until you leave the University. Upon leaving the University the card must be returned.
If the card is lost, report the loss to the Campus Card office during business hours (8:30-5:30 PM, with some additional late hours) or to the UNH Police Department after hours by calling 1.800.DIAL.UNH (off campus) or 932.7014 (on campus). Your card is issued at no charge; however, the lost card replacement cost is $10. Lost cards will be replaced by the Campus Card Office in Echlin Hall, Room 114. Make lost card payment at the Business Office (Maxcy Hall 109), and take your receipt to Information Services.
Your card should be treated as a debit card- if you lose secure possession of the card, report it immediately. The university is not responsible for funds lost as a result of the loss of your card.
