Bruin Card Services

All students, faculty, and staff should take the necessary steps to acquire their Bruin Card to be properly identified as members of the Belmont community.

The Bruin Card is now fully mobile. Belmont is a mobile first campus, meaning that all new credentials issued to students will be mobile (existing plastic IDs for students will still be supported). 

Follow the instructions here to provision your mobile Bruin Card at any time or review FAQs specifically related to the mobile Bruin Card.

• All new, incoming students will be directed to provision their mobile Bruin Card. New students can review their Orientation checklist for steps to secure their Bruin Card.
• New faculty and staff may provision a mobile Bruin Card at any time or they may choose to have a plastic card. Employees can only choose one form of credential. Employees may request a plastic card by emailing bruincard@belmont.edu or visiting the Bruin Card Services desk in Belmont Central (located in Gabhart Student Center) for walk-up assistance. 

If you need a replacement plastic ID, you can provision your mobile ID card at any time as an alternative to plastic. The plastic ID will deactivate automatically once the mobile ID is provisioned. There is no charge for provisioning the mobile credential.

Walk-up service for replacement plastic ID cards is available at the Bruin Card Services desk in Belmont Central (located in Gabhart Student Center). You can also email bruincard@belmont.edu to request a replacement ID and have it ready for pickup in Belmont Central at your convenience. Replacement plastic ID cards for students are $35 per replacement. Broken or malfunctioning cards will be replaced at no cost.

The Bruin Card can be used at all on-campus dining locations and several off-campus locations. The Bruin Card can be used to purchase items at either of our on-campus Bear Necessities convenience stores using Bruin Flex Pass, Dining Dollars, or Bruin Bucks. The Bruin Card can also be used to access vending and printing across campus.

• Students may add Bruin Bucks via their student account by logging on to their Housing portal. In MyBelmont, select the Housing icon from the center Launch Pad screen. From the home screen of the Housing portal, follow the prompts to add Bruin Bucks. Charges will appear on the student’s account within 3-5 business days, and Bruin Bucks will typically be available in that same time frame. Note that this functionality is disabled mid-semester - check the Housing portal for dates of availability. 
• Bruin Bucks can be added dollar-for-dollar via credit card at any time using the eAccounts app on any smartphone or at this link (student will need to sign into their account and click "Add Funds" at the top of the page). These funds should be available almost immediately after purchase.

Account balances can be viewed on the Transact Mobile Ordering app, on the eAccounts app on any smartphone, or on the eAccounts website at this link.

• Dining Dollars and meals are associated with dining plans and are only available for the term session of purchase. Unused dining dollars in the fall will roll over to the spring term session automatically. All Dining Dollars acquired during the academic year will expire at the end of the spring term. Unused meals at the end of a week (for weekly plans) or term sessions do not roll over.
• Bruin Bucks purchases are non-refundable. Bruin Bucks are valid as long as a student is actively enrolled at the university. When a student leaves the university (either by graduating or withdrawal), Bruin Bucks will no longer be available.
