About the Student XCARD

An XCARD is a card for Waubonsee Community College students, featuring your picture, name and X-number. Your X-number is printed on the card as well as encoded in the magnetic strip and barcode of the card.

It is a way to keep your X-number handy when you need it. Use the card to easily provide your X-number at various campus offices without the need to memorize or verbally recite it. And with XCASH functionality, you can load money onto your XCARD and use it to buy food at campus cafés or merchandise at the bookstore.

Bring your X-number and at minimum of one photo ID (driver's license, state ID, passport or consular ID only) to the bookstore at either Sugar Grove Campus or Aurora Downtown Campus during regular hours. Additionally, the library at the Sugar Grove Campus can issue XCARDs during the first three weeks of the fall and spring semesters. New students will have an opportunity to get an XCARD when attending a New Student Orientation session. If you do not have an X-number, contact the Admissions Office.

There is no cost for a student’s first XCARD. However, a $10 fee will be charged at the bookstore to replace a lost or stolen card.

XCASH refers to funds you have added to your card using the online XCASH Deposit Center and/or on-campus Cash Kiosk. More convenient than actual cash, XCASH can be used at Waubonsee's campus cafés, bookstores and select vending machines.

The bookstore at Sugar Grove Campus or Aurora Downtown Campus will issue a new card for a fee (see above).

You may contact XCARD Services by calling toll-free (888) 406-7057.

If you have lost your XCARD, report it immediately to XCARD Services by calling toll-free (888) 406-7057. Found cards should be returned to the information desk at any of Waubonsee's four campus locations.

Be sure to keep your name, address and phone number up to date with Registration and Records. This helps to ensure you will receive important communications from Waubonsee about your XCARD, your classes, financial aid, billing and more.
