Slippery Rock University ID Card
Slippery Rock University’s new ID Card functions as your student ID and a whole lot more.
- Grants access to places such as your residence hall and the ARC
- Serves as your library card
- It can be used at all dining halls (with a meal plan), the SGA Bookstore, the Marketplace at Weisenfluh, and every Taylor and Byrnes coffee shop
on campus.
This card’s best feature, however, is the improved Rock Dollars debit system which can be used not only anywhere on campus, but also at participating vendors in and around the borough of Slippery Rock. The purchasing power of these new cards makes them the ultimate convenience for the SRU student.
