Most universities issue identification cards to students.
In a first of its kind program, the All Card is about to become the only card XU students need to carry, providing them access to campus activities, Star Bank ATM checking and other financial services and long distance phone needs. Tom Barlow, Xavier's director of auxiliary services, implemented the All Card in 1993. Now, with the assistance of Star Bank and MCI, Barlow is about to give students the option of making the All Card the only card they'll ever have to use on or off campus. Students, faculty and staff don't have to carry anything but their ID cards and still have access to meals, petty cash, banking services and long distance phone service. Cards can be used at the post office, vending machines, laundry and food services and more.
