Q. Why doesn't my card work?
A. It could be because your card is bent, the magnetic strip is scratched or damaged, the magnetic strip has been demagnetized or because you are trying to use an old card. All the information needed for your card to work on campus is stored on the mag-strip. If your card is damaged in any way, it is impossible to extract any information from your card. For this reason it is important to care for your card by keeping it in a card holder and keeping cards from touching each other back to back.
