“One Card” Information

A Student's ID card is the 'One Card' necessary to use many services on campus. In addition to accessing the meal plans described previously, the One Card monitors attendance to various events and may also be used as a form of payment at many campus locations. Such payments are made with Crimson Cash, described below.

For any questions regarding the One Card uses and policies, the Student Business Center is located in Schwitzer Center 207 or email ccp-onecard@uindy.edu.

Dining Dollars

The Dining Dollars are put on students’ cards at the beginning of each academic year and can be used until the funds are depleted. Students can add additional money at any time to their funds by purchasing Crimson Cash.
Dining Dollars are not refundable. Any remaining Dining Dollar balance is lost at the end of an academic year. Dining Dollars may only be used at dining locations: The Marketplace, Streets Corner, or The Perk.

Crimson Cash

Crimson Cash is a value system in which food and other items can be used with a swipe of a card. Crimson Cash can be loaded onto an ID at various campus locations.
Crimson Cash may be used at all campus dining locations: Streets Corner, The Marketplace, and The Perk. It may also be used at the university bookstore, copiers at the Krannert Memorial Library, and in vending machines located in Schwitzer Student Center and the library.
Crimson Cash can be loaded onto an ID at various campus locations. Crimson Cash may be added with check, cash, or debit/credit card at the Student Business Center (Schwitzer 207) or the Accounting Office during regular office hours. There are also un-staffed stations located at the Schwitzer Student Center and Krannert Memorial Library which take cash only. You may check your Crimson Cash balance at any of these locations.
A student’s Crimson Cash balance will carry over until a student is no longer with the university.
A student’s Crimson Cash balance is non-refundable. Due to this policy, we strongly encourage students to actively monitor their Crimson Cash balance.
