Falcon Card
The Falcon Card is the official identification card for all Bentley students, faculty and staff. This card is also used by resident students to gain access to residence halls.
New Falcon Cards are issued free of charge for all incoming students, staff, and faculty. Faculty, staff, and graduate students can visit the Card Office, located in the University Police Station, during normal business hours to pick up your ID.
A lost ID card must be reported to the Card Office or, during after hours, to University Police.
The fee to replace your Falcon Card, at this time, is determined by the number of cards you have previously been issued. Damaged IDs may be replaced for free, provided you turn in the current, active ID card and it can be verified to be the active card issued.
A University Police officer cannot admit you to your room if you lose or forget your ID card. If you are sure that your ID card is in your room, contact your RA for assistance.
Falcon Funds
The Falcon Card is used for debit transactions for dining services and works like a debit card on campus; you can only make purchases if you have the funds available. Any remaining balances at the end of each semester automatically are rolled over to the next one.
