The WhoCard
The official ID card of Brandeis University! The Brandeis WhoCard serves as the campus dining card, debit card, library card, campus identification, and card for all door access on the campus. This site will answer all of your questions about your new WhoCard and its applications across the campus.
The Campus Card Office, located on the ground floor of Kutz Hall, is responsible for maintaining the campus card access system, issuing campus ID cards, administering the University meal plans and more. Stop by our office at any time, call us at 781-736-4230, or email us at campuscard@brandeis.edu if you need further assistance with your campus ID card or any of its applications.
Lost ID cards should be reported to our office immediately - call x64230 or email us. Replacement ID cards are available at the Campus Card Office during our business hours. The fee for replacing a lost ID card is $20. There is no fee for replacing ID cards that are unusable due to normal wear and tear.
Your WhoCard can be used in the following places: All Dining Services locations for meal plans, point plans, and debit plans (WhoCash), the University libraries (circulation only), and all door access locations on campus. Put WhoCash on your card and use it in the University Bookstore, the University Copy Center, specially marked vending machines around campus, and in select laundry rooms.
WhoCashWhoCash is the campus debit plan that can be used for purchases in all Dining Services locations, the University Bookstore, the University Copy Center, LTS's Hardware Repair Shop, Cholmondley's, Domenics (Sachar Bldg), for public printing and photocopying on campus, and in the laundry rooms in Reitman, Cable, Usen, Renfield, Ziv, Village, Rosenthal, Castle, Shapiro and East residence halls.

Students who live on campus and have not signed a Residence and Dining License may have automatically been assigned the 14 meal plan if a returning student and the 21 meal plan if a first year student. Please check your meal plan during the first two weeks of the semester to make sure you have the plan you want. If you are unsure of your plan, please call our office at ext. 64230.
Students may make changes to their meal plan choices during the first two weeks of the semester only. However, changes in housing during the semester that result in a meal plan change may be made after the first two weeks of school.
Students electing to eat Kosher must sign a Kosher contract with Dining Services in Sherman Dining Hall. Students will then be given a sticker for their ID card. Students who elect to eat kosher must eat on the kosher line while in Sherman Dining Hall but are welcome to eat in any other dining location.
