The OneCard is the official identification card of Hampshire College, and is issued to every student and employee.
OneCard IDs are used for many services
- External door access: Merrill, Dakin, Greenwich, and Prescott 103 and 105
- Dining locations: Dining Commons, Bridge Cafe, Kern Kafe
- Shopping: The HampStore on campus and Amherst Books in downtown Amherst
- Libraries: access to Hampshire College and Five College libraries, as well as interlibrary loan
- Athletic facilities: access to Robert Crown Center and Multisport
What should I do if my OneCard stops working, is lost, or stolen?
- Contact the OneCard office immediately if your card is lost or stolen and we will deactivate it.
- Contact the housing operations office (HOO) at 413.559.5453 during business hours (8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.) to sign out a temporary card for residential use.
- Make an appointment with the OneCard office via email to get a new ID, and return your temporary card on the next business day.
- You need to bring an alternate form of picture ID to the dining commons when you have a temporary card so they can verify you are an active student. You will not be allowed to enter the dining commons with just a temporary card.
Replacing a OneCard
Replacement OneCards can be obtained in the OneCard office. A fee of $25 applies in all cases except when:
- You have a legal name change processed through the Central Records office (this is not the same as changing your preferred name) and we reuse your existing photo,
OR
- You have your OneCard in your possession (eg: you have not lost it) and it is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged through normal wear and tear and we reuse your existing photo.
