What is a Connect Card?

The Connect Card is BSU's official ID card, a multi-purpose system that can be used for library privileges, building access, as a meal ticket, and as a debit card.

As a debit card, funds may be used at all dining areas, vending machines, public copiers, the bookstore, purchasing stamps at the mailroom, and off-campus with participating merchants.
