The Falcon Card

THE FALCON CARD

All Franklin students are required to have a Franklin University Switzerland Student ID Card: the Falcon Card. The Falcon Card is a photo ID that serves as a student's official Franklin identification both on-campus and in the surrounding community. Granting accessibility to Franklin University Switzerland resources and demonstrating a student's affiliation with the University to external organizations, the Falcon Card is an essential resource for every Franklin student.

The Falcon Card has a number of on-campus benefits and capabilities associated with student ID cards, such as library book check-in and check-out. Eventually, the card attributes will be expanded to access other campus services, like copy machines, vending machines, washer, and dryers, etc. Off-campus, the Falcon Card provides students worldwide recognition as university students, giving them access to discounts and privileges often afforded at retail establishments and for travel related purposes.

One of the greatest benefits of the Falcon Card is its use as a Franklin meal debit card. With the purchase of one of five debit card options, students have access to meals at Franklin dining facilities, including the Grotto and the North Campus Dining Hall.

Costs

All students are issued a Falcon Card, free of charge for its first issuance and its periodical renewal. Replacement cards cost 75 CHF, and a new card will be issued only after payment of this fee. If the card is lost or stolen, please notify the Office of Student Life or Dining Services immediately so a hold can be placed on the card balance. While Franklin will make every effort to minimize the loss of funds if the card is lost, the student is responsible for all debits to the card until a stop has been placed on the card.
