With Charger Card Mobile ID, a physical Charger Card is no longer necessary. Most smartphones with NFC technology are compatible and can be used for dining, door access, library card access, etc. Certain programs and campus departments require program-specific physical IDs (nursing student badges, OIT employee badges, etc.). Departments should let employees/students know if this is a requirement or not. Those with old physical Charger Cards should keep them in a safe place.

Yes, a physical Charger Card will continue to function after you have added your Charger Card Mobile ID to your device. However, only one form of ID is required. Remember, the Mobile ID is a privilege and benefit of being part of the UAH community. Anyone found to be misusing their physical card or Mobile ID will be subject to the applicable Code of Conduct or HR policies regarding fraud and/or misconduct.

A negative balance can occur if you make a transaction when a retail device is offline. When the device comes back online and the transaction is posted, you will see a negative balance if there are not enough funds in your account to cover the transaction.

Return to the location of the sale and ask the store to issue a credit card refund, then process the transaction against your Charger Card.
