The uOttawa card combines many cards into one. The card is your:
-
Official University of Ottawa student ID
-
Pass to get into uOttawa fitness centres and gyms
-
Library card to borrow materials and to print documents
-
Building pass to gain access to buildings, labs, and classrooms
-
Payment card for meal plan food at the Dining Hall
-
Payment card for campus printing services and for laundry machines in residences
-
Debit card to purchase items on campus and from our off-campus partners
Dining Dollars
Students who have the Pay-as-you-go plan only have dining $, with no funds set aside for the Dining Hall. However, they can use their Dining $ account to pay the door rate at the Dining Hall, thereby saving the 13% tax.
Students who purchased a 5 day or 7 day meal plan also have a Dining Dollar account, allowing them to save the 13% tax on food prepared on campus at over 20 campus locations.
Flex Dollars
Add funds to your card and use it wherever the uOttawa card is accepted, including at our off-campus food partners, to pay for books, printing, photocopying, late fees, meals, and more! Flex Dollars remain available to use for up to six years. After six years of inactivity, funds remaining on your uOttawa card accounts will become property of the University and will no longer be available to you.
