Students, faculty and staff at The University of Findlay will enjoy a new level of convenience and service this fall with the introduction of the Oiler OneCard, which will serve as the new UF identification card, providing access to students’ financial aid refunds and other refunds, dining meal plans and Munch Money, cardio center, health center, library and events on campus.

The card, which will debut with the opening of the 2007-08 academic year, will also allow the establishment of a debit account to use at the bookstore and other University stores.

Each student, as well as faculty and staff, will soon receive an Oiler OneCard in the mail and must activate it online at www.OilerOneCard.com to receive services at the University this fall.

The card, which will carry the MasterCard logo, can be used as a debit card (not a credit card), at all Debit MasterCard locations, allowing the holder to access cash at an ATM, pay bills and send funds electronically. The University will also use Higher One for financial aid disbursements and student payroll, unless students request Higher One to mail a paper check.

“We are excited to introduced the new Oiler OneCard as a value-added service for our students and their parents, as well as faculty and staff,” said Martin Terry, vice president for business and finance. “We believe the UF community will appreciate the convenience and security of having all these services available through one card and one account.”

Other services to be available through the card include vending machines, slated for January 2008, and keyless entry to University buildings, planned for fall 2008.
