Your ACT Card
Your Action Card or “ACT Card” is your official student ID for The University of Alabama!
*New students must upload their photo by using the Online Photo Submission before coming to orientation.
The ACT Card is used for Bama Cash, Dining Dollars, meal plans, building access, NCAA athletic events, University recreation centers, the Student Health Center, campus entertainment events, and more!
On the card are three important accounts:
You can check the balance of these accounts and transactions at any time through eAccounts*.
*To check on the number of Meal Plan swipes remaining, login to eAccounts and select Board Transactions. Then select a time frame. You will see the number of Meal Plan swipes used out of the total number you started with. Subtracting these two numbers will give you the remaining Meal Plan swipes you have left.
ACT Card in Apple Wallet
Students, faculty, and staff can now add their ACT Cards in the Apple Wallet on iPhone and Apple Watch!
The University of Alabama is one of the first three schools to bring the convenience of the student ID card to the Apple Wallet. You can use this digital ID just like a physical card!
