The University of Prince Edward Island has adopted an enhanced system and new design for the UPEI CampusCard, which serves as the official identification card for students, staff, and faculty. The card allows entry into campus buildings and gated parking lots and access to photocopying, residence laundry, meal plans, Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre memberships, and Robertson Library services. The new card system allows users to load credits to their UPEI CampusCard via a secure website as well as at several campus locations. Incoming and returning students are already being issued the new card, and now that the majority of student cards have been processed, staff and faculty are encouraged to replace their old card as soon as possible. Staff and faculty are encouraged to visit upei.ca/campuscard for more information on what is required and where to obtain the new UPEI CampusCard.
