Flames Pass is Liberty University’s campus ID card. It provides access to
meal plans, facilities and activities campus wide. The Flames Pass allows students
to carry money in a safe, secure format that is easy to use through Flames Cash, a declining
balance account. Flames Cash can be spent at all LU Dining locations and the LU Bookstore
as well as any participating off campus merchant. Every student is required to have a Flames Pass in their possession whenever they are on campus. The Flames Pass is valid as long as the student is currently
enrolled and financially checked-in.
Higher One card is issued to every Liberty University student and is needed
to select a refund preference to receive financial aid refunds. Higher One is the banking partner that disburses refunds on behalf of the university. The card is sent to the mailing address on file in ASIST approximately three weeks prior to arriving on campus. Financial check-in must be complete before the Higher One card goes into production. Students must activate card online for refund selection preference.
Refunds
There are two refund preferences to chose from:
- OneAccount: An FDIC insured checking bank account that offers MasterCard DEBIT feature. Refunds are deposited into the OneAccount within 1 banking day from the date released by the university. There are four Higher One ATMs on campus for fee free withdrawals.
- ACH Transfer: Electronic deposit of the refund directly into your personal US bank account. Refunds are deposited within 2-3 banking days from the date released by the university. Activation of the card does not automatically open an account unless the Easy Refund option is selected and a deposit is made into the OneAccount.
Contact Card Services for assistance with either the Flames Pass or Higher One card.
