Welcome to the Campus Card Office
The Campus Card Office is out and about campus due to New Student Orientation and has limited office hours. We are available 9-5 by phone and email. Complete hours and contact information.
Important Spring 2012 U-PASS Information:
Only full-time students are eligible for a U-PASS. Full-time status is defined as 12 credit hours or more for undergraduates and 9 credit hours or more for graduate students. If you drop below full-time enrollment during the add/drop period or completely withdraw from classes on or before January 30th you are not eligible for the U-Pass, per the agreement between Columbia College and the CTA. An email will be sent to your Loop email account notifying you of the deactivation. Please be sure you are prepared to cover your public transportation costs or make other transportation arrangements if you drop below full-time enrollment.
Distribution Dates: January 12 & 17 from 9AM to 6PM
U-Pass distribution is scheduled for Thursday, January 12th and Tuesday, January 17th between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. in the Herman Conaway Center 1104 S. Wabash Ave. Make sure you have a valid Campus Card (Student ID) when you pick up your U-Pass.

Important Campus Card Information:
Your Campus Card is more than just an identification card, it is your key to many services Columbia has to offer. By adding Columbia Cash to your Campus Card, you can purchase food and beverages from the college cafés, library coffee bar, and vending machines; pay for printing services in the library and open labs; and purchase snacks, books, and merchandise in the bookstore.
We have created an Online Card Office to provide students, parents, faculty and staff 24-hour access to their ID account without any fees or service charges. The Online Card Office site allows the following:
- Deposit funds to Columbia Cash account
- Check Columbia Cash account balance
- Suspend ID Card functions
- View Columbia Cash account transaction history
If you are a registered card holder, or have not already registered for access to the Online Card Office, please register now. You will be redirected to an external deposit site outside of the campus network.
