USM CARD

Learning about your CARD

The USM CARD utilizes the latest technologies to provide access to goods and services. Campus Card Services manages a number of databases to assign privileges and maintain accounts.

  • The magnetic stripe on the back of the card is encoded with user information that when passed through a reader checks account balance or assigned priveleges.

  • The barcode on the front of the card is utilized for University of Maine System library access. The red number printed below the barcode is for your use in accessing on-line library services. Your barcode must be activated at one of the library circulation desks to allow complete library privileges.

  • The blue number printed on the front of the card is the card identification number.

  • An integrated proximity antenna emits a frequency that when held up to a reader permits entry based on assigned access privileges.
