The TCU ID Card is a lifeline to all that takes place on campus. It is used as a key to access buildings, residence halls and labs. It functions as a credit card that can be used in the bookstore, to do laundry, make copies and purchase items from the vending machines. It serves as a debit card to purchase food items and give access to the Market Square Dining Facilities. It serves as a pass to enter athletic events and many special events held on campus. It is also considered a legal form of identification. The ID card should be treated in the same manner you would treat a credit card.
Your student ID card functions as a key and a credit card as well as a legal form of ID. You should have it in your possession at all times.
