Your Bronco Card is one of those little things that might be easy to forget, but is totally essential for tons of stuff that you’ll probably want or need to do around campus. Here are the main things you can do with your Bronco Card.
1) Get into buildings on campus
There are certain buildings around campus you’ll need your Bronco Card to have access to. This includes the food pantry, library, specific classrooms, some labs and centers, student housing and more. So, when you’re on campus, make sure you’ve got it on you at all times to get where you need to go!
2) Buy food
If you’re on a meal plan, you have to have your Bronco Card when getting food and so it can be charged to your meal account. You can also check out Dining Services to see all the awesome places you can order from with your Bronco Card.
3) Check into events (even virtual ones)
To attend some events, you will be asked to register with all of your Bronco info before you go (or log on). If you’re buying a ticket to an event, you might also get a discount just for being a student. Just one of the perks of being a Bronco!
4) Getting access to the Rec
Did you know that if you’re a full-time student, you automatically have a Campus Recreation membership? You can stop by for a quick workout, sign up for a class, or even go for a swim. But in order to get in, (you guessed it) you need your Bronco Card. Then you can enjoy all the facilities the Rec Center has to offer!
5) Check out books and print at the library
There’s so much you can do at Albertsons Library—as long as you have your Bronco Card. If you want to check out a book, print stuff and use other facilities like The MakerLab you gotta show that Bronco Card!
