Ram E Card

The Ram E Card is the official West Chester University ID card, and so much more! A declining balance debit card, the Ram e Card can allow you to make cash-free purchases using Ram Bucks all over campus, as well as select off-campus locations. Ram Bucks is an account that is accessed through your Ram e Card. You can never spend more than the amount on your account. With using Ram Bucks there are no worries about bounced checks, credit card bills, or interest payments. The Ram e Card also provides swipe access into the recreation center, your residence hall, and other campus events. If you’re a WCU student, faculty, or staff member, you’re eligible for a Ram e Card.

The SSI Service Center

The SSI Service Center and RAM CARD Office is located on the ground level of Sykes Union, across from the WCU Campus Store. The WCU RAM CARD serves a number of purposes for WCU students; it is not only the Students’ University ID card but Ram Bucks is a “SUPER” debit account that lives on the RAM CARD.  Ram Bucks, allows a student to make cash-free purchases all over campus, including all dining locations, the WCU Campus Store, and at select off-campus locations, such as restaurants, food trucks, supermarkets and pharmacies.  Students can deposit money onto their card at the WCU RAM CARD Service Center on the lower level of Sykes.  In addition, students can obtain a replacement WCU RAM CARD.
