Your YU ID Card has many purposes on campus: it serves as your identification card that you will use to gain access to University buildings, your Dining Club card (caf card), your library card and your ID to get onto the shuttles. You must show your ID card, with a current semester sticker (which identifies you as being currently enrolled in the University and is handed out at the start of every semester by security in the college buildings), as you enter every YU building. On the back of your ID are numbers for Security Stations:

Wilf Campus: 212.960.5200
Beren Campus: 212.340.7460

The Furman Dining Hall (known as the Caf) is located in the lower level of Rubin Hall. Additionally, there is a Caf store located in the lower level of Rubin Hall, and there are two Caf kiosks, one in the Morgenstern Lounge known as café@morg and another in Nagel Commons, known as Nagel Bagel. There is an additional caf known as Sky Caf, located on the 12th floor of Belfer Hall. You can also use your Caf card at limited local stores and eateries.

For hours of operation, information and updates about food services, see Dining Services.

Your YU ID cards also serve as your caf card. In the cafs and the caf stores (stores on campus where food and other items can be purchased), your ID card serves as a declining balance food card. At the start of each semester, money is added to your Dining Club Account, which you may then use to purchase food and other items in the cafs or caf stores. Your caf card will work on both the Wilf and Beren Campuses. You are the only one permitted to use your caf card.

Each time you make a purchase, the register’s customer screen shows how much is left on your card.
