On the face of the card is a photo of you along with your name, status and your UST ID number.  The back of the card contains your library bar code and a magnetic strip that contains your UST ID number and other confidential information required to authorize your access and transactions.

All UST registered students, faculty and staff must have a Tommie eXpress Card as identification to access buildings, check out library materials, use public computer labs, access the athletic facilities, ride the intercampus shuttle, purchase a parking permit, cash checks and carry out other business on campus.  Some departments use the card to punch in and out while working on campus. Meal plans are also stored on your Tommie eXpress card.  Everything is on the same card.
