All faculty and staff on campus are issued a University of Maryland ID card. This card is extremely valuable and carrying the card brings privileges and responsibilities.
Privileges include:
Access to your Terrapin Express account.
Appropriate access to residence halls, classroom buildings, recreational facilities, and campus sponsored events.
Treatment at the Health Center.
Ability to use campus computers and to borrow books and make copies at the campus libraries.
Free access to the University’s shuttle buses.
Responsibilities include:
Retain possession of your ID card and do not allow anyone else to use your card. A card being used by a person not pictured on the front will be confiscated and returned only to the person pictured on the card.
If lost or stolen, cancel your card and obtain a replacement card. Terrapin Express points may not be accessed without a valid, active University of Maryland ID card which must be presented by the person pictured on the front of the card. Cashiers are not permitted to complete any sale without a valid ID presented by its rightful owner.
You are responsible for the full value of purchases made with your card. If for any reason, the system allows purchases in an amount greater than the balance on the card, you will be charged the difference through the Bursar’s Office.
