What
deposit amount will meet my needs for the semester?
Budgeting
your on-campus spending can be a problem. Having money available
for books, supplies, food, special event tickets, etc., often requires
credit cards, checkbooks, or visits to the automatic bank teller. Now
the need to carry cash is virtually eliminated as students can deposit
funds into their La Salle Gold Card account. Your University ID serves
as a means of access to your Gold Card account. Simply deposit funds
into your account, then use your Gold Card all over campus to make purchases!
You can add funds to your Gold Card at any time.
Simplify
things where you can. No cash? No problem! Stop by the Gold Card
Office adjacent to the Food Service Office located in the lower level
of the Student Union. Or call 215-951-1LSU if you have an questions.

Details about the Gold Card Account.
Will
I be charged for a Gold Card account?
When you open a Gold Card account you will be assessed a one time only
account origination fee of $10.
How
much do I have to invest if I only want to try the Gold Card Account?
The minimum initial deposit to open a Gold card is $50; however, we suggest
a $250 deposit to really give the program a try.
How
will I know what my Gold Card Account balance is?
Each time you make a purchase with your Gold Card, you can ask the cashier
for your current balance. Also, each Gold Card account has been
programmed to signal the card holder when his or her account
balance drops below $25. This feature permits you to add funds before
your balance is exhausted.
What
if I want to know where I have spent my funds?
No problem! Simply stop by the Gold Card Office and we'll be happy to
provide a statement of expenditures.
Where
can I mail my deposits?
Mail them to: La Salle University, Office of Student and Accounts Receivable, 1900 West Olney Avenue,
Philadelphia, PA, 19141. Be sure to include your ID number on the
check.
Can
my Gold Card account be charged without my permission?
All charges require the presentation of your Gold Card. You will
not be held accountable for a charge to your Gold Card account once you
have reported the card lost or stolen.
How long can I use my Gold Card?
Your Gold Card account is active as long as deposited funds are available.
How
do I close my Gold Card account?
Two ways: You may simply spend any amount remaining in your account, or
you may submit a request to the Gold Card Office to close the account.
A check for the unused funds will be mailed to your permanent address.
