The MinerCard office will introduce a new card this semester to students, faculty and staff, featuring contactless technology. The current mag-stripe system, which is still used around the campus, will remain. All current students, faculty and staff are eligible to receive one new MinerCard at no cost, if their current card is surrendered, during the migration period of Aug. 4-Dec. 19.

Students, faculty and staff who will be utilizing the following areas should make transitioning their MinerCard a priority: Bertelsmeyer Hall, Toomey Hall, Straumanis-James Hall and Kummer Student Design Center.

For more information, email tara.stone@mst.edu or call 341-7095. MinerCard office hours are 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Students, faculty and staff who do not have a current card will pay a $15 replacement fee. This new fee charge becomes effective starting Aug. 4. New transfer, graduate and distance students, and new faculty and staff will be charged $15. Replacement cards are $15. Defective cards, name changes and dependent or visitor I.D.s will be $10.
