Mason ID Cards
Your Mason ID Card can be used for self-service copying/printing with the Canon multifunction devices, and microfiche printing. To add money, go to Mason Money Online, and, using a credit card, add the amount you choose.
Mason Money Cards
You can purchase a new Mason Money Card and add value at the vending Mason Money Station (Teller) or online using a credit card. A Teller, transactions only via credit card (no cash), is located in the Founder’s Hall lobby beside the self-service copier next to the Barnes & Noble bookstore.
If you purchase a card, the customer number on the back of the card is your account. The Patron Default number is your PIN. Write these numbers down and keep them in a safe place in case you lose your card. You can also add value to your account online with a credit card at Mason Money Online.
