SPECIAL NOTE TO CURRENT STUDENTS
If you have financial aid that you were planning to use at the bookstore, and you want to know what the amount is, go to EagleNet and log in with your k number and password. Click “EagleNet for Students,” then “My Bill By Term.” This will show how much you have (if any) left over to buy books.
These funds DO NOT automatically transfer to your EagleCard. If you swiped your EagleCard at one of the machines on campus and the balance was zero, that does not necessarily mean you don’t have any financial aid funds available.
The bookstore asks you to present your EagleCard when you buy books in order to verify your identity and your k number, not to use it as payment.

What is the EagleCard?
The EagleCard is your official Kirkwood Community College identification card. It provides easy access to the Library, the Recreation Center, computer labs, Kirkwood sporting and entertainment events, and more. The EagleCard can be used as a debit card for purchases on- and off-campus. Simply deposit money onto the card and use it for cash free purchases at campus vending, food services, in the Kirkwood bookstores and participating off-campus vendors. Optional meal plan packages for lunch or dinner at Sammy's Kafe are also available. Meal plans are a separate option from the debit account.
What is the EagleCard Account?
More than just your Kirkwood ID, the EagleCard allows you to deposit money onto the card for convenient, cash-free purchases - it works like a retail gift card. Deposit currency onto the card at any EagleCard Deposit Center (cash to card machines) or online at http://www.kirkwood.edu/ and click on the EagleCard button. Cash or credit card transactions of $1 or more can be added to your account at any deposit center or online. Deposit centers are located in Linn Hall (lobby), Business Services (Kirkwood Hall), the EagleCard Office (122 Iowa Hall), Iowa Hall (second floor) and the Iowa City campus. Cash, credit card, Financial Aid transfer and personal check deposits are accepted at the EagleCard Office in 122 Iowa Hall. EagleCard Deposit Centers accept Visa, MasterCard and Discover.
Where can I use the EagleCard Account? Use your EagleCard account for cash-free purchases both on- and off- campus. It is accepted at campus vending machines*, campus food services, Kirkwood bookstores and the Linn Hall information booth. You can even use the EagleCard to pay tuition, parking tickets and library fines. Plus you'll get a five percent discount for debit purchases at Sammy's Kafe, the Kirkwood Coffee Bar, the Class Act and Guido's (Iowa City campus). Off-campus, the EagleCard is accepted at the following off-campus partners in Cedar Rapids.**
**Please check this Web site for a list of the most recent vendors as vendors may change.
When can I get my EagleCard?
Students can receive their EagleCard as soon as they are enrolled in a current or future credit class at Kirkwood. Employees of the college can receive their EagleCard as soon as they receive their first paycheck from the college. An EagleCard account will automatically become inactive when you are no longer registered for classes, or the last day of your employment. However, your EagleCard is automatically reactivated if you ever reregister for classes, so hold on to your card if you think you might return in the future. Replacement cards are $10.
Do I need a new EagleCard every year?
No, your EagleCard is good as long as you are an active student.
What if my EagleCard has been lost, stolen or damaged?
If your card has been lost or stolen, cancel card access to services immediately by contacting the EagleCard Office at 319-398-5680 or report it lost/stolen through the online card office via: http://www.kirkwood.edu/eaglecard. The EagleCard Office can produce a new card for you at the current replacement fee of $10. This replacement card will be immediately active for all services.
Does the EagleCard have any fees?
