Using the Student IC Card

1. Password:

The IC card’s initial pre-set password is the last six digits of the student’s passport number. Any non-digit numbers are replaced by a “0”.

2. Topping up/recharging IC card:

a. Using IC card Self-Service Machines: Before being able to top up their IC card using these machines, students must have a Bank of China bank card, which has been applied for and linked to their IC card at the Bank of China branch in the Zijing Student Service Center (C Building).

Students can recharge their IC card at the IC card self-service machines, known in Chinese as 圈存服务机 or 自助查询机, by transferring money from their bank account to their IC card, known in Chinese as 圈存.

b. Using Alipay: Students can open the Alipay app, click on Campus Life > Campus IC card (一卡通) to initiate the transfer. Then, students should bring IC card to an IC card self-service machine (to either of these types of machines: 自助领款机or自助查询机) to complete the recharge.

3. Replacing a lost IC card:

If an IC card is lost or damaged, students may arrange for a card replacement at the Registration Center at Teaching Building 3 or at a self-service machine (自助一体机). Please note that these machines are different from two other types of machines previously mentioned.

The self-service machines are located at:

·The entrance of the Registration Center at Teaching Building 3 (三教三段一楼门厅)

·The Student Registration Center in Room 102 of Zijing Student Service Center (C Building), (紫荆学生公寓C楼102注册中心服务大厅)
