The Tech Express ID Card is your official Michigan Tech photo identification. It will be used for parking and building access, your meal plan, and as your Express Cash debit card.
New students should submit a picture to be
used for their ID card online at
www.techexpress.mtu.edu. Guidelines for
pictures can be found online, and all pictures
must be submitted by August 14. Your Tech
Express ID Card will then be ready for you to
pick up during Orientation. If you are unable
to submit a photo online, you will be able to
have your photo taken during Orientation at
the Tech Express Service Center.
All Tech Express ID Card services can be completed at the Tech Express Service Center, located in the Campus Bookstore in the Memorial Union Building. Complete cardholder information is available online at www.techexpress.mtu.edu.
Your Tech Express ID Card is very valuable, and there is a fee to replace lost or damaged cards. Keep it with you and keep it safe. Protective sheaths and lanyard holders are helpful and are available at the Campus Bookstore. Please report the loss or theft of your Tech Express ID Card immediately.
Express Cash
The Express Cash debit card program is available to you as a feature of your ID card. It operates like
a no-interest checking account, but you don’t have to write checks, pay annual fees, or balance your
account. Simply by opening an account at the Tech Express Service Center, your ID can be used at
many campus locations including the Campus Bookstore, the Memorial Union Food Court and Corner
Store, the Mont Ripley Ski Hill, the Rozsa Center Box Office, the SDC Central Ticket Office, the Outdoor
Adventure Program Tech Rental Center, and at most vending machines across campus.
You can manage your account online, adding funds and reviewing transactions. Your parents or guardians can also go online and add funds to your card. Deposits, withdrawals, and other questions regarding your Express Cash can be taken care of at the Tech Express Service Center located in the Campus Bookstore in the Memorial Union Building. Additional information is also available online at www.techexpress.mtu.edu.
