Caltech Card Services is happy to extend to you all the benefits of the Caltech ID card.  You can use your card for building access, as well as enjoy all the advantages of SmartCash.

 

SmartCash is the easiest way to make purchases on and off campus.  To use it, just deposit money into your SmartCash account online using your Visa or MasterCard, or send a check or money order to Campus Card Services at MC 1-52.  Once you've made a deposit, your account balance will decline with each purchase you make.
