What is the id+ Card?

The Penn State id+ Card is the University's official identification card. It provides access to a variety of University resources.

What is LionCash+?

By adding funds to their id+ Card, students, faculty and staff can take advantage of using their id card as they would use cash!  This free and convenient University program is called LionCash+. 

How can I add LionCash+ funds to an id+ Card?

Students, parents and families can add LionCash+ funds to a Penn State id+ Card through an online system.

LionCash+ FAQ:

How can I use LionCash+ on campus?

First, you must activate and add funds to your id+ account.  You can complete this simple transaction via the LionCash+ website by using a Visa, MasterCard credit or debit card.  Once you add funds to your account, you can then pay for things with LionCash+.  More specifically, you can:

  • Pay for on-campus dining -- Visit our on-campus dining locations and swipe your id+ Card to pay for your purchases.  You will save 10% on prepared items by paying with LionCash+!
  • Purchase sheets for use with on-campus printers using Paw Prints -- Paw Prints is a modern cloud-based, pay-as-you-go printing offering convenience and individualized experiences for students, faculty, staff, and visitors starting at $.08 per sheet.
    • Minimal rates for printing and scanning to help save money on your own equipment, ink, and paper
    • Paw Prints kiosks are powered by wepa, who has partnered with PrintReleaf to reforest trees and achieve a paper-neutral footprint
