Answers:
1) How do I obtain a BruinCard? If you are a UCLA Faculty or
Staff, you are eligible to receive a BruinCard. The preferred method is to have employees submit passport-style photos to be
scanned for card production. Please follow the instruction below: 2) What are the benefits of the BruinCard for Faculty and Staff? This multi-purpose card serves
as your official UCLA identification card, library card, access control card, recreation card, time entry card, BruinGo
Big Blue Bus card, and as a convenient debit card for making purchases on and off campus. 3) Why do UCLA Faculty/Staff need a BruinCard? Effective June 1, 2003, the
UCLA Office of the Chancellor mandated that all faculty and staff obtain a UCLA BruinCard and to carry it with them when on
University property. Individuals who do not carry a valid BruinCard will risk being denied access to University buildings
and services. 4)

Do you offer payroll deduction for BruinCard deposits? (Back to Top)
Deposits can also be made via the web using a valid
credit/check card, visit a BruinCard Center, or at one of our 6 Value Transfer Stations (cash only).
8) I do not work on campus, where else can I use my BruinCard? Over 20 locations in Westwood and Trimana on the first
floor of the Wilshire Center accept the BruinCard for purchases. Please see
BruinCard Merchants on our website for a
complete listing where BruinCard is accepted.
9) I am a UCLA Student and Staff, can I get a BruinCard for each status? No. A cardholder can only have one card, regardless of
the number of statuses. In this case, students get more privileges than staff, therefore, the student status will override
all other status. Once you are no longer a student, return the student card in exchange for a staff card.
10) Since I’m a UCLA Staff, is it free to get a BruinCard each time I lose or damage it? Your first BruinCard is
free. The cost for replacing a lost/stolen and damaged card is $21.00 and $6.00, respectively. If you have lost your
BruinCard, suspend your lost/stolen card immediately via our online card office. In order to obtain a
replacement BruinCard, simply stop by a BruinCard Center. Fill out a Card Action Report and a new card will be printed for
you in about five minutes. If your card has expired, your replacement is free (assuming the expired card is presented at the
time).
11) What if I am no longer an employee at UCLA? You must turn in your
BruinCard to our office or your department personnel coordinator.

What should I do about a lost or stolen card?
IF YOU HAVE LOST YOUR
BRUINCARD- CLICK ON THE LOST/STOLEN CARD LINK ON THIS PAGE TO SUSPEND THE USE OF YOUR CARD AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE. 15)
If I lose my card, do I lose my cash?
Losing your BruinCard
doesn’t mean losing your cash - it is protected by a secure database and is not stored directly on your card. However,
it is important to report your card lost or stolen ASAP so we can continue to provide you with all the great functions
and features you get with BruinCard.
The new Healthcare ID and
Facilities Badge are official BruinCard. These two badges work in exactly the same way as a standard BruinCard.
17)
What do I do if my card is expired?
If your card has an expiration date and it has expired,
simply bring it into one of our BruinCard Centers and we will print you a new card. There is no fee for card renewal as
long as we take possession of the expired card. If the expired card cannot be produced, then the expired card is considered
a lost/stolen card and the $21 fee will apply.
18)
What is the difference between ‘Food Only’ and ‘Easy Pay’?
Easy Pay account allows
you to make debit purchases throughout campus and Westwood Village that accept the BruinCard. Food Only account restricts
usage to food purchases at on-campus restaurants only.
Always check your account
balance to make sure that your transaction went through. To check your balance, log on to your BruinCard online
account (available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week). If you
have checked your account balance and still believe that there is a discrepancy, please call the BruinCard Center at
(310) 825-2336.
20)
I’m having trouble logging on to my BruinCard online account. What can I do?
Make sure that you have
registered for a BruinCard online account, and input all of the information correctly. When you do so, you create your
own individual password. Make sure that when you are logging in to the system, you use your nine-digit university ID
number and the password you created for your account. Forgotten passwords can be e-mailed to you at the e-mail address
provided initially upon registration.
21)
Where should I go if I have problems with the BruinCard?
You may visit any
BruinCard Center locations.
22)
What should I do if I think there is an error on my "Easy Pay" statement?
If you suspect an error,
you must report it to a BruinCard Center no later than 60 days after the error appears. Oral notification must be followed
by written notification within 10 business days. An investigation of the error will then be conducted by the BruinCard
Center, and you will be notified of the results.
