The Blazer OneCard- What's Next
Welcome to Vincennes University. As your student may have already heard, the Blazer OneCard is how it's done at VU! From receiving their financial aid refunds to purchasing course materials, it's the key to success at VU. And remember it's a debit card: not a credit card! You and your student may have some questions about what happens next. Here are the steps your student needs to follow for successful card use.
LOOK FOR THEIR CARD IN THE MAIL
Their Blazer OneCard is now in production and will be mailed to the mailing address on file with VU. If students are not sure which address is registered with the school as the permanent address, please have your student verify his/her Personal Information on MyVU.
ACTIVATE THEIR CARD
The card will not function for campus access & privileges until it has been activated, therefore it's important to do so as soon as possible. Activating the Blazer OneCard also allows students to select a refund preference, which is the method by which they will receive any financial refund from VU.
Activation is quick & easy- Just log onto www.BlazerOneCard.com to get started. If you or your student has any questions about how to activate, you or your student may want to view the activation demo provided at www.BlazerOneCard.com. Look for the "View Demo" link in the "Learn about the OneAccount" box. Or call Customer Service at (800) 815-6109.
MAKE CHOICES
With the Blazer OneCard, students have a choice in how to receive refunds from the school. Options are:
- Easy Refund to the One Account: The FDIC-insured OneAccount has no monthly fees or minimum balance requirement. With the OneAccount, students can use their Blazer OneCard to make debit purchases wherever Debit MasterCard is accepted. The OneAccount is the fastest way to receive a refund, giving access to money the same day it's released by VU.
- ACH Transfer (to other bank): Students may choose to have an electronic deposit of their refund money to another bank account. This transfer may take 2-3 days for their bank to make funds available.
- Paper Check: Students may also elect to have a paper check sent to them in the mail. This option takes the longest. Paper checks can take 5 or more days to arrive.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE ONE ACCOUNT
Even if students choose paper check or ACH transfer as their refund preference, they still have the option of opening a OneAccount. May students find the OneAccount is a great way to manage school expenses separate from other expenses.
USING THEIR CARD
Once their card is activated & they have money in their account, students can use it anywhere Debit MasterCard is accepted. We're sure you and your student will see the benefits of the BlaerOneCard and OneAccount. If you have any questions, visit www.BlazerOneCard.com.
