BULLDOG CARD SERVICES FOR STUDENTS
Smile for the camera! Not only does the Bulldog Card serve as pictured identification, it is your key to many campus services.
What is a Bulldog Card?
The Bulldog Card is the official University I.D. card. Each student is issued a Bulldog Card when coming to Ferris for the first time. The Bulldog Card is used for entrance into the campus residence halls, dining units, student recreation center, racquet facility, athletic events, concerts and many other areas on campus. It also features a bar code on the back to check out materials and books from the Library.
The Bulldog Card has two magnetic strips on the back of the card. The large strip on the bottom identifies student enrollment status, meal plan, and other assigned privileges. It also provides for a Huntington Bank Account. Additional information on opening a Huntington Bank Account can be obtained at the Huntington branch office located at 301 S. State Street in Big Rapids. The small strip at the top is used only in the Library for making photocopies. Please note: Any funds placed on the Library strip are lost if the Bulldog Card is lost. If for some reason you need to get a new ID, you need to go to the library first and have the money removed from the small strip. You can then deposit money on the new card.
