Where to Use Your Card

Check out materials from the Howard libraries as well as print from computers and make copies.

Purchase textbooks, academic related materials, or to redeem a book voucher.

Use a Meal Plan at Howard Campus Dining locations.

Use Bison Bucks to pay for food and services at participating dining and retail locations.

Ride Howard’s Shuttle Bus Services.

All students utilizing the laundry services on campus must download the Speed Queen App

When students connect their Bison One Card balance in the app, it will display the ENTIRE Bison Bucks balance, not just the laundry allowance. The Laundry Allowance per semester is 64 cycles or $64, and it will combine with Bison Bucks on the Speed Queen App. 

Use your Bison One Card to enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner, or grab necessities at an off-campus merchant.

Students, faculty, and staff can use their Bison Bucks at participating Off-Campus Merchants.

Simply scan your virtual Bison One Card for payment at a participating merchant location. This does not imply that discounts are offered at these establishments when you present your Bison One Card. Watch for specials for Howard Bison on social media from our participating merchants.

To deposit Bison Bucks funds onto your Bison One Card, Bison One Card Portal.
