Where is it accepted? What are the benefits? Campus Map     The ACCESS card is the University of California Santa Barbara's official identification card. This multi-purpose photo ID has many convenient uses. For a one time $15 new card fee you can use the ACCESS card as a declining balance debit card on and off campus. This allows for "cash free" transactions all over the place but, more importantly, many campus locations only accept ACCESS, no credit cards or ATM debit cards. The mag stripe on the back of the card makes it simple to“swipe” your card for easy access to such locations as the recreation center and the dining commons. It is also a free pass to athletic events and the MTD bus system.     It's super easy to use too! Budgeting for the week is a no brainer. Just deposit funds in your ACCESS account at the Information desk on the main floor in the UCen or at the UCen Cashier's window downstairs. You can also download a deposit slip and mail it to us. Next time you go out, all you need to carry is your ACCESS ID card. The UCSB Bookstore even has a special line for ACCESS purchases during rush, making this hectic time a little easier.     No need to worry about someone else spending your money because your picture is right on the card. That makes it safer than a credit card!   Back to top Site Map Contact Us Home UCSB   Administration Conference Services Dining Services UCen Services Copyright 2007© The Regents of the University of California, All Rights Reserved University Center.
