The Mcard is an ID card for students, faculty and staff of the University of Michigan-Flint. The Mcard features a photo of the holder, the holders name and association (student or department for faculty and staff), and UMID. The Mcard functions are:

• An ID card for the Recreation Center.
• A library card and debit card for using the copiers in the France Wilson Library.
• A debit card for the Dinning Dollars meal plan account in the Riverfront Dinning room and the University Center Food Court (Stacks Deli, Grill 115, and Smart Market).
• Faculty and Staff who pay for parking on the UM-Flint campus can easily use their Mcard for parking in the faculty/staff parking facilities on the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor campus.

ITS distributes parking permits and/or validation stickers to students in conjunction with the Mcard distribution at the beginning of the semester (preferred method) in the University Pavilion and continuing throughout the semester at the Mcard stations in the open computer labs at 206 MSB and 3174 WSW.
