Bookstore Vouchers
Students with a projected credit balance for the upcoming Course period (as determined by Student Financial Services), will have up to $2,000 placed on their RMU ID Card as a bookstore voucher for exclusive use at the Barnes & Noble Campus Bookstore in Moon Township. Bookstore vouchers can be used for educational related purchases using excess financial aid.
After the add/drop period, the bookstore vouchers will be cleared off of the RMU ID Card and any remaining funds will be credited back to the student account and a refund will be processed according to the policies and procedures of the Student Financial Services Department.
Campus Dining
The RMU ID Card is your key to campus dining. Meal plans including the All-Access plan and commuter and faculty/staff plans, Dining Dollars and Colonial Cash are stored on the RMU ID Card and can be used at any of the dining locations. A valid RMU ID Card must be presented to access your funds. Cards that are damaged or unreadable will not be accepted.
Dining Dollars carry over from the Fall Semester to the Spring Semester, and any unused funds will expire in May. (Note: If a meal plan is not continued into the Spring semester, any leftover Dining Dollars will be forfeited after the class add/drop period, which is one week into the semester). You may add additional Dining Dollars online through eAccounts OR by stopping into the Student Financial Services Office in Revere.
Online Account Access
Because the RMU ID Card is unique to every cardholder, the 16-digit number given is part of an access code needed to enter the Sentry Secured Services area of the RMU website.
Using the last 10 digits of the RMU ID Card, along with the last 4 digits of your Social Security number and birth date, online accounts can be activated at the Robert Morris University website. www.rmu.edu/activate. Once this initial step is complete, a user name and password can be created, so it is not necessary to memorize the RMU ID Card Number.
Once a user name and password are created, students can start using the E-Mail address and account Robert Morris University has provided for them. This address will be a primary means of communication and should be checked regularly. Students will also have immediate access to the secured area of the website. Access to these pages will allow students to view their grades and obtain other information specific to them. Things such as financial information, official schedules, registering, and paying for classes will are available through this secured area.
Library
You must present a valid RMU ID Card in order to borrow books and research materials from the University’s library in Moon Township. The magnetic stripe of your card is encoded with information required to borrow books from the library. Cards that are damaged or unreadable will not be accepted.
Fitness Center
A RMU ID Card is required upon entry of our campus fitness center for all current student and employee fitness club members. Information about fitness center programs and membership options is available on www.rmu.edu/fitness.
