The Tiger Card Service Center is an essential part of daily life on campus. Faculty, staff and students all use the card for electronic access, vending, meal plans, printing and Tiger Bucks. Our staff assists, serves, and enriches the campus community by ensuring that we fulfill the mission of the University by preparing its graduates to pursue lives of meaning and purpose.
