Bus Pass
The digital Bus Pass works just like your i-card. Show it to an MTD bus driver to travel off campus.
The Bus Pass feature requires an active i-card. If your i-card has expired, you will see a message on the Bus Pass screen that your card is deactivated. Contact the Urbana ID Center to renew your i-card.
Illini Cash
The Illini Cash program is being discontinued. Account balances must be used by June 30, 2026. Purchase food, printing, books, supplies, and computer equipment at various locations across campus with remaining funds.
Illini ID
Use this digital identification card the same way as your i-card to confirm your identity or UIN and to access campus facilities.
The Illini ID feature requires an active i-card. If your i-card has expired, you may see your UIN only on the Illini ID screen or a message that your card is deactivated. Contact the Urbana ID Center to renew your i-card.
Meal Plan
The Meal Plan feature helps you keep track of the remaining meals in your plan, your Dining Dollars balance, and your transaction history.
University Library Card
This digital card can serve as your ID for picking up equipment loans or checking out library materials like books or keys to study rooms.
The University Library Card feature requires an active i-card. If your i-card has expired, you will see a message on the University Library Card screen that your card is deactivated. Contact the Urbana ID Center to renew your i-card.
