What was originally introduced as your official Carleton ID card is now your campus-wide debit card, Library card, and meal plan access card. In addition, the campus card can be used to pay for parking, distance education courses, and Ottawa-area taxis!
It is also used to provide secure access to over 1000 doors in residence, athletics, ITS, Child Care Services, and more.
Campus Card has also been added to Carleton’s eShop catalogue. Through eShop you can purchase accessories, and pre-loaded gift cards.
