Hill Card

Information for Parents

The Hill Card is your student's identification card, meal plan card, residence hall access card, library card, and campus debit card.  Students may also choose to activate the Money Network® Enabled Discover Card® feature of the Hill Card.

DOOR ACCESS

The Hill Card is a proximity card that provides access to the exterior doors of residence halls without having to slide the card through a reader. This system makes exterior residence hall keys obsolete.
 

DEBIT CARD

The All-Campus Account is a prepaid, stored-value account that is part of the Hill Card. It is the convenient, cashless way to pay for purchases on campus and off campus (participating merchants).
 
Two prepaid options are available - All Campus Account (good at all locations where the Hill Card is accepted) or College Store Account (good for purchases at the College Bookstore only.)

Off campus, the Hill Card is accepted by the following merchants:

Alteri's
CVS
Clinton Cider Mill
Dunkin Donuts
Subway
The Pizza Place

See Hill Card terms and conditions for additional information.

MANAGE ACCOUNT ONLINE

Your student's Hill Card account can be accessed online.  This access enables them to deactivate their card when lost, add money to their account and view their account history.

• Family members can also add money to a student's Hill Card All-Campus account online.  (The online deposit tool enables deposits to the Hill Card All-Campus account only.  It does not enable deposits to the Discover® card account.  See below for additional information re deposits to the Discover® card account.)

Discover® card

The Hill Card can also serve as a Money Network® enabled Discover® debit card if a student chooses to activate this option.
