UNIVERSITY CENTER

The University Center is a 100,000 square-foot facility that has space to support student programs, offices, student lounges and meetings rooms. Serving as the hub of campus activity, it features offices for student organizations, conference rooms, campus mail service, a game room, campus dining services, a large study area that converts to a showcase lounge in the evenings and much more.

IDENTIFICATION CARDS

Identification cards are processed at registration and distributed through the Office of Auxiliary Services, Campus Card Center. Every student receives an identification (ID) card upon completion of registration (fiscal clearance). The ID card should be in a student’s possession at all times and is non-transferable. For resident students, the ID card also serves as the students’ meal card and must be validated by Xavier’s current food service vendor.

Identification Card

Each student should carry his/her ID card (the XCard). It provides identification for athletic events, social activities, student meals, etc. Students may not lend their cards to anyone else; permitting another person to use a card or using someone else's card is considered fraud. Should the student lose his/her XCard, the loss should be reported to the Campus Card Office (UC 122-G) at once. There is a replacement charge for the card. The XCard is the property of Xavier University and must be presented on request by any University official and can be confiscated from bearer as a result of inappropriate conduct or abuse.

The XCard is also financial transaction card. The XCard RushBuck$ Debit Account conveniently allows the entire university community to make purchases via a cash alternative. RushBuck$ refers to a stored value account established only by predepositing funds. RushBuck$ can be used for purchasing services/goods from selected copy, laundry, and vending machines. Funds in your RushBuck$ account can also be used for purchasing merchandise from the bookstore as well as meals from Xavier Dining services.
