Your Agreement to the Terms

Receipt upon issuance, depositing funds into your oneCARD account, and use of your Sheridan oneCARD indicates your agreement to these oneCARD Agreement Terms and Conditions of Use (the “Terms”).

We may from time to time change the Terms, which changes will be posted on the oneCARD website at http://onecard.sheridancollege.ca/. You are responsible for checking the site regularly and for adherence to the Terms at all times. Future changes will apply to all oneCARDs and will supersede the previous terms and conditions in effect. Any violation of these Terms by Sheridan employees may result in discipline up to and including dismissal. Any violation of these Terms by students may result in discipline up to and including expulsion.

Although the oneCARD remains the property of Sheridan, it is entrusted to you for your convenience while enrolled, employed, and/or using the facilities at Sheridan. However, we may revoke your oneCARD and/or specific services and privileges attached to your oneCARD at any time. You agree to surrender your oneCARD immediately upon request or upon academic withdrawal from or cessation of employment at Sheridan.

Card Use

The oneCARD is the official identification card for Sheridan students, employees, and third parties on campus. It is also your library card, declining balance card where accepted by service providers, and your access card to facilities. We may also run certain oneCARD contests and promotional events to encourage oneCARD usage among cardholders.

You agree to use your oneCARD in a manner consistent with the Student Code of Conduct, Code of Professionalism and Civility and to abide by all policies of Sheridan.

You may only use the oneCARD while you are an active registered student, employee, or valid third-party user. The oneCARD is issued only to you for your own use. It must not be transferredto or shared with anyone else. You must not allow unauthorized persons to access Sheridan or its facilities. Allowing use of the oneCARD by others compromises the security of other members of the Sheridan community.

Unauthorized use of your oneCARD may result in suspension of privileges, revocation and/or other sanctions, as deemed appropriate in our sole discretion. You are responsible for fully cooperating with Sheridan in the event Sheridan must recover from any unauthorized oneCARD use. Fraudulent or illegal use of the Sheridan oneCARD may result in criminal charges and/or civil proceedings.

Declining Balance

You may use your oneCARD as a declining balance card where accepted by service providers, provided funds are available in your account. Students under the age of 16 must provide parental or guardian consent to oneCARD terms, use of photo as well as declining balance feature of the oneCARD. The oneCARD may be used for transactions including, but not limited to, printing services, library services, and bookstore purchases. If you purchase an item, funds will be deducted from the declining balance portion of your account. You can view your online oneCARD statement at any time by logging in to your oneCARD account on the oneCARD website. Declining balance funds remaining on your account at the end of the academic term will automatically roll over to the next term until no transactions have been processed for 365 consecutive days at which time any remaining funds will be forfeited.

Prohibited Purchases: The purchase of alcohol, cigarettes, cashback transactions, lottery tickets, pornographic material, and prepaid credit/gift cards is prohibited.

Currency: All oneCARD account funds are in Canadian dollars and a maximum of $1,500 can be held in any single oneCARD declining balance account.
