The scholastic life can get hectic. Between classes, meetings, study sessions and trips to the library, you have to somehow find time to eat, run errands and attend to life's necessities. We offer the Convenience Card to make life a little easier. Your HSU student, faculty, or staff ID card can pull double duty as your C-Card.

All you have to do is make the initial deposit and activate your ID card to serve as a debit account. Your card can be used for purchases at any participating campus location. Deposits are easily made by phone, in person at the Housing and Dining Office or the HSU Bookstore, by mail, or online. Read more about C-Card at c-card.humboldt.edu.

Using the C-Card is Easy

The C-Card can be used to purchase food, textbooks, clothing, event tickets, supplies, on campus vending and laundry and more without having to carry cash. Once you activate your C-Card account, all purchases made with the C-Card will be automatically deducted from your account balance. To check your current balance, simply ask at any participating location or visit your account online.
