Card Care

• Treat your CSU RamCard as you would any other important ID Card
• DO NOT fold, bend, or expose your card to excessive heat
• DO NOT punch holes in your card or put it on a keychain bore. The CSU bookstore sells cardholders that protect your RamCard on a keychain or lanyard.
• Keys can (and do) damage the barcode on the front as well as the magnetic strips on the back.
• DO NOT use your RamCard to scrape ice off vehicle windows. I’m serious.
• Holes damage the embedded Smart Chip magnetic strips on your card as well as the card readers in various machines on campus.
