OneCard Features

Accounts

Meal Plan/Dining Dollars Accounts
At the beginning of each semester, every undergraduate resident student purchases a block meal plan, including a preset number of meals and dining dollars. This information is stored on your OneCard, which you can use at the Pearlstone cafeteria, Heubeck and Stimson dining halls. Please note that you can make changes to this account only through Records & Registration during the first two weeks of the semester, and the plan expires at the end of the designated semester.

Goucher Bucks Account
Gopher Bucks is an account into which you can deposit any discretionary funds you might want to use to buy books, supplies, snacks, and other things not covered under your meal plan. A list of typical expenditures follows. You can deposit any amount of money into your account from $1 up, but we've found that approximately $1,250  covers most students' Gopher Bucks purchases for one semester, so that's what we recommend starting with.

Gopher Bucks can be used at the following locations:

On Campus:
Photocopiers
Dining Facilities
Vending machines
Post Office
Health Center
Office of Public Safety
Goucher College Bookstore
Gopher Hole pub

Off Campus:
Pizza Boli
Smoothie King
Cluck-U Chicken
Changes Hair Studio
T.G.I. Friday's
Texaco Gas Station
Bubba's Breakaway
Tropical Tanning
CVS
Roly Poly

NOTE: When calling for delivery services, the merchant will need to have your student ID# on the front of your OneCard. No alcohol or tobacco products may be purchsed with Gopher Bucks.

Also note that you cannot withdraw cash from your Gopher Bucks account. Any Gopher Bucks you don't spend by the end of a semester will be carried over to the next one, and we will refund any leftover Gopher Bucks in excess of $10 when you graduate or withdraw from Goucher.

We will release account information only to the individual whose name is on the account. If you wish to release information to third parties, including your parents, we will require your written authorization. You may print out the Account Information Release Form on this website and send it to the OneCard Administrator as noted on the form .

Library Services

The Goucher OneCard contains your student library bar code on the back of the card above the magnetic strip.

Laundry Services

Since August of 2004 there is no longer an individual charge for resident students to do laundry. The cost of laundry is built into the resident students room fee. Resident students receive 72 total laundry transactions (wash/dry) per semester. You will only need to swipe your OneCard at the laundry reader to enable the machines. Additional laundry transactions can be purchased from Student Administrative Services (SAS).

Non-residents will be required to use coins to enable the machines.
