The DragonCard is the official University ID card for students, faculty and professional staff and must always be carried while on any of the University's three campuses. A DragonCard is used to:

• Access University buildings, including Drexel Residence Halls.
• Check out books and laptops from the Drexel libraries as well as print from computers and make copies.
• Use a Dining Plan at Drexel Campus Dining locations.
• Use DragonDollars to pay for food and services at participating dining and retail locations.
• Ride Drexel's Shuttle Bus Service.

Care for Your DragonCard

It is important to take care of your DragonCard for it to work properly.

• Do not punch holes in or deface your DragonCard. Your card contains a "smart" chip inside that grants access to campus buildings through electronic card readers.
• Store your DragonCard in a secure location, such as a wallet or handbag and away from other magnetic cards that may deactivate the card.
• Lanyards and other cardholders are often helpful – Barnes & Noble at Drexel University locations have a variety of options.
