The RUconnection card is the official Rutgers University photo ID card. It enables students to check out library books, use recreation centers on the campuses, and access meal plan or RU Express debit services. It also functions as a general campus ID.
Cards are available at the RU Express office (Records Hall, Room 102, College Avenue Campus; 732-932-8041) or at the RUconnection Card offices on Busch, Livingston, and Douglass/Cook campuses. No appointment is necessary.
In order to receive an ID card, a student already must be registered for classes and present a valid form of identification (e.g., driver's license, passport). There is no charge to new students for the RUconnection card. (There is a $15 replacement fee for lost cards.)
