What is a Buff OneCard?
The Buff OneCard is the official identification card for CU-Boulder students, faculty and staff. You will need this ID card to access campus facilities and services that have restricted access. For example, it allows you to use the recreation center, check out library books, and use dining services in the residence halls. Combined with a current RTD validation sticker, it allows you to ride local, regional and express buses for no additional fee. It also offers a variety of optional services such as Buff Gold and ATM access which require that the student open an account at the University of Colorado Federal Credit Union. Students who have confirmed their intent to attend CU-Boulder and have paid the enrollment deposit, are eligible to get a Buff OneCard. Faculty and staff are eligible to get a card on their first day of employment. To get a Buff OneCard, go to the Campus Card Office and bring a photo ID to prove your identity. Your first card is free. Lost, damaged, or stolen cards can
