ULM Warhawk Express Card
The University’s WARHAWK EXPRESS CARD brings you CONVENIENCE AND SECURITY ... no longer do you have carry cash or open a bank account to pay for purchases on the ULM campus. Simply roll a portion of your refund to your Warhawk Express account at the same time you register for classes and start enjoying the convenience of cash-free purchasing power on- and off-campus! No more fumbling for bills or digging for change! Skip the long lines for check approvals! No account-origination charges! Never any overdraft fees! No NSF charges! Never affects your credit! You’ll never have to find an ATM to get cash for your school-related purchases and your credit score will never be affected!
What is the "WARHAWK EXPRESS" (Stored Value Account) and how does it work?
WARHAWK EXPRESS is the convenient way ULM students pay for purchases on- and off-campus. It works like a credit card in reverse. Depending on your needs, you select a sum of money to activate your account and the amount will appear on your fee/bill. Every time you make a purchase, i.e., Starbucks, Subway, Java City, the Bookstore, Athletic Concessions, vending machines, Union Board Tickets, Library fines, Convenience Store, etc., you give your WARHAWK EXPRESS CARD to the cashier. Your card is passed through the register and the amount of purchase is electronically deducted from your pre-deposited account via the secure, encrypted magnetic stripe on the back of the card. Each time you make a purchase with your WARHAWK EXPRESS card, the remaining balance will be displayed at the register so you'll always know how much you have left in your account. It's simple, instead of charging purchases and receiving monthly bills, you electronically debit against the stored value in your account.
What are the benefits of the Debit Plan?
Convenience ... You no longer have to fumble for bills or change to pay for your snacks in the Convenience Store, Books and Supplies in the Bookstore, refreshments at the concession stands, and at athletic events.
Security ... It's safer than carrying cash. Since your photo and encoded identification number are encrypted on your ULM I.D. Card, its virtually impossible for someone else to use your card.
Flexibility ... It provides the flexibility you deserve. When you need to make a last-minute purchase at the bookstore or want an energy bar from a vending machine before the big exam, when you carry your WARHAWK EXPRESS Card, there's no worry.
Money Management ... It is an excellent money management budgeting tool helping you plan for your school-related purchases.
It also helps supplement your Meal Plan Flex Dollars when your Flex balance is low.
Will My Account Remain Active From One Semester to the Next?
Your WARHAWK EXPRESS balance will roll from one semester to the next, and continue to do so as long as you are enrolled. The University will deactivate accounts not used during a 120-day period. Reactivation simply requires a visit to the Warhawk ID Services Office.
