Bruin Card Services
Bruin Card Services manages the university’s ID card program, issuing credentials for students, faculty, and staff. The Bruin Card provides secure access to campus facilities and enables convenient, cashless payments at on-campus (and some off-campus) dining locations, vending machines, and print stations. Bruin Card Services works closely with campus partners to ensure reliable security, integration, and ongoing credential support.
If you have questions or concerns with your Bruin Card, email bruincard@belmont.edu.
General Bruin Card Questions
All students, faculty, and staff should take the necessary steps to acquire their Bruin Card to be properly identified as members of the Belmont community.
- New students can review their Orientation checklist for steps to secure their Bruin Card.
- New faculty and staff can proceed to the Office of Campus Security to receive their Bruin Card.
- If you have lost your Bruin Card and need a replacement, you may obtain a replacement card from the Office of Campus Security. Replacement cards for students are $25 and will be billed to the student’s account.
Bruin Cards are free at first issue. Replacement cards for students are $25 per replacement. Broken or malfunctioning cards will be replaced at no cost. Replacement cards can be requested and printed in-person in the Office of Campus Security.
Lost or stolen cards should be reported immediately to the Office of Campus Security and Bruin Card Services (bruincard@belmont.edu). Students may receive their replacement card from Campus Security, and a fee of $25 will be added to the student’s account. Bruin Card Services will review and investigate any discrepancies in stored value account balances from the date that the card is reported missing and will restore balances as necessary.
The Bruin Card can be used at all on-campus dining locations and several off-campus locations. The Bruin Card can be used to purchase items at either of our on-campus Bear Necessities convenience stores using Bruin Flex Pass, Dining Dollars, or Bruin Bucks. The Bruin Card can also be used to access vending and printing across campus.
Bruin Bucks, Stored Value & eAccounts Questions
- Before the add/drop date each semester, students may add Bruin Bucks via their student account by logging on to their Housing portal. In MyBelmont, select the Housing icon from the center Launch Pad screen. From the home screen of the Housing portal, follow the prompts to add Bruin Bucks. Charges will appear on the student’s account within 3-5 business days, and Bruin Bucks will typically be available in that same time frame.
- Bruin Bucks can be added dollar-for-dollar via credit card at any time using the eAccounts app on any smartphone or at this link (student will need to sign into their account and click "Add Funds" at the top of the page). These funds should be available almost immediately after purchase.
Account balances can be viewed on the Transact Mobile Ordering app, on the eAccounts app on any smartphone, or on the eAccounts website at this link.
- Dining Dollars and meals are associated with dining plans and are only available for the term session of purchase. Unused dining dollars in the fall will roll over to the spring term session automatically. All Dining Dollars acquired during the academic year will expire at the end of the spring term. Unused meals at the end of a week (for weekly plans) or term sessions do not roll over.
- Bruin Bucks are valid as long as a student is actively enrolled at the university. When a student leaves the university (either by graduating or withdrawal), Bruin Bucks will no longer be available. Students may request a refund of their unused Bruin Bucks by contacting bruincard@belmont.edu within 30 days of graduation or withdrawal.
