As a new student, you’ll quickly learn how important it is to have your SharkCard on you at all times. The Shark Card is an identification card that features a student’s name and photograph, NSU’s Shark logo, a student’s library card number and other identifying information like the ISO number and SmartChip used for vending purchases. With the SharkCard you’ll gain entrance to a variety of places around campus like parking areas, the library, the RecPlex, and the residence halls (if you live there). You’ll also be able to add money if needed to make purchases with your SharkCard for student necessities like food, photocopies, and library dues.
