What should I do if my PolyCard malfunctions, is lost, or stolen?
If the magnetic strip appears to have lost its encoding, please request assistance from ITS Service Desk via their online Support Center. If your PolyCard has been lost or stolen, you can deactivate it through the Cal Poly Portal, using the PolyCard Services link under MyApps. To maintain a PolyCard, keep it away from magnetic fields such as those created by a TV, stereo, microwave, or magnetic clasps of wallets and purses. Heat, water, and eelskin can also corrupt the magnetic stripe and render the card unreadable. The PolyCard must be readable by Campus Dining’s cash registers for a purchase to be completed.
How can I check my value?
Simply log into the MyCalPoly portal (http://my.calpoly.edu) and click on PolyCard Services channel under Single Click Links. From there you can check your balance and view activity on your card. You’ll also be shown your balance every time you use your card. Campus Dining cashiers can check your value without a purchase. Simply tell the cashier you’d like to check the status of your Campus Express account and give him/her your card.
