Physical campus card

The physical campus card is a multifunctional ID and payment card for students, enabling:

-Payments at canteens, supermarkets, shower facilities, and more

-Access control to dormitories, teaching buildings, and office areas

-Library services, functioning as a borrowing card

-Utility payments, such as topping up electricity fees for dorm rooms

Digital campus card

The digital campus card is an online version of the physical card, available to all students, faculty, alumni, and verified visitors. It enables identity authentication and campus-wide mobile payments. When used for dining services, payment is directly deducted from the bank account linked via UnionPay, eliminating the need to pre-load funds or transfer money.

Security Settings

To ensure secure use, the campus card provides:

A payment password and a query password (both default to 123456 upon receiving the card). After receiving their card, students are advised to change both passwords at a self-service terminal.

A per-meal spending limit is set at 50 yuan by default for password-free transactions—purchases beyond that amount require entering the payment password (limits can be adjusted individually).

Top-up options

There are several convenient ways to recharge your physical campus card:

-Alipay: Recharge via the campus card mini program

-Xiaolinglong App: Download the app on your mobile device and top up directly

-Self-service terminals: Use the university's card recharging machines (note: must first establish a link between your card and a designated bank account)
