Student Billing Services

ID Express is a debit account accessed with the ID Card. Once money has been placed onto the ID Express account, it cannot be withdrawn until the student leaves or graduates.

How it Works

When ready to make a purchase, present your ID card. If you are using ID Express in locations that Bonus Bucks can be used, you will be asked if you would like to use ID Express. After your purchase has been made, the balance is presented on the cashier screen, which you may ask for the balance, as well as on your receipt. When using ID Express in the vending machine, you must swipe your card, make your selection and your balance will light up on the screen. When purchasing items from Off Campus locations, just call the vendor, give them your ID number over the phone and present your card to the delivery person when they bring your order.

Other Related Information

The ID card and any funds in an ID Express account are the responsibility of the individual cardholder until the ID Office (607-274-3007) or the Office of Campus Safety (607-274-3333) is notified that the card is lost or stolen.

Your ID Express account will automatically be closed if you leave the college through an official process such as withdrawal or graduation. In that event, you may receive any unused balance in your account by making a written request to the Office of Student Financial Services. (If no request is made, any funds remaining in the account will revert to the college if the amount is under $10.00). Any remaining will be refunded and sent back to you.

If you have an outstanding financial obligation to the college, funds in your ID Express account will be applied to what you owe before any amount is refunded to you.

If you are a continuing student, any balance in your ID Express account must be carried over to the following academic year for use at that time.

If you need any other information regarding your ID Express account, please call the ID Office directly at 607-274-3007 or send an e-mail to idoffice@ithaca.edu.
