IS YOUR uniCARD READY FOR TOUCH PAY?
All new student ID uniCARDS issued for 2011 and 2012 entry have the Touch Pay technology built in. You can check if your card is ready for Touch Pay by checking the back of the card for the pink contactless logo which should be on the right hand side under the magnetic strip. If it doesn't have this logo, don't worry, simply visit the ISA Help Desk on East 4 of the Main Building and the team will replace your old style card for you at no charge.
