Falcon Card Services
Falcon Card Services is the home of the Falcon Card, the official multipurpose campus card that is used for photo identification, meal-plan access, campus Falcon Funds purchases, entrance into campus buildings, SPU Library privileges, and admission to or discounts on certain SPU-sponsored activities. When you have your photo taken for your Falcon Card, you will need to provide a valid form of government-issued photo identification. Your Falcon Card is activated upon receipt and will expire upon your graduation. It is for your use only. If you allow another person to use your card to access food services, building entrance, or identification, both parties will be subject to disciplinary actions.
If your Falcon Card is lost or stolen, you must report it immediately to the card office or by logging on to your Falcon Card account online through Falcon Card Services, so that it can be deactivated to protect the money and services on your card. Damaged cards must be replaced, so handle your card with care. Your first Falcon Card is free; replacement cards (lost, stolen, or damaged) are $25 and can be obtained at the Office of University Services during regular business hours. You can view and add to your Falcon Funds balance by logging on to your account through Falcon Card Services. Falcon Card Services is in the Office of University Services (across from Hill Hall) and is open Monday–Friday, 9 a.m.–4:30 p.m. A full statement of the Terms and Conditions applicable to the Falcon Card is available on the Falcon Card Services website.
