Q: How do I gain entrance to the dining centers for each meal?

A: You use your BU Quick Card ID. It will be programmed with the meal plan and money accounts. Every time you use your card, the checker at the door will check your card to make sure you are the proper person and they will run your card through the reader at the door. The Meal Plan card readers, will give you your balance, so you will know how much money is remaining in your account.

At the end of the semester your remaining balance will be transferred to your Quick Cash account.

Q: What happens if I lose or have my BU Quick Card ID Stolen?

A: You can report that your card may be stolen 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by calling the BU Quick Card Hotline at 677-FIND (3463). The operator who answers the BU Quick Card Hotline will instruct callers on how and where to get a replacement or temporary card. Replacement cards are available at the ID Office during normal business hours for $20.00. Temporary cards may be issued to a cardholder when the ID Office is closed or in the case of an emergency. There is no charge for a temporary card, but it will only be good for a short time and must be returned. While you are issued a temporary card, your regular BU Quick Card ID will be invalid and confiscated if someone tries to use it.

THE BU QUICK CARD ID IS THE PROPERTY OF BRADLEY UNIVERSITY AND IS NONTRANSFERABLE.
