The Hilltopper Card is the official St. Edward's University identification card.
All St. Edward’s students and employees are issued a Hilltopper Card that enables them to obtain building access, use meal plans, use Topper Tender, and identify themselves as members of the St. Edward’s University community. Incoming students will receive an email with instructions for submitting a photo for their Hilltopper ID. Students should review the Photo Submission Guidelines to ensure that they are submitting an appropriate photo.
To collect your Hilltopper Card, please visit the Hilltopper Card Office on the first floor of the Operations Building on the northwestern corner of campus next to the tennis courts. Students and employees must present a current government-issued photo ID to receive their card. Acceptable forms of identification include a state-issued ID, driver's license, passport, or military ID. While there is no charge for your first Hilltopper Card, there is a $15 charge for replacement cards.
Students and employees can log in to their Hilltopper Card Account to perform the following actions:
- Freeze your card if lost or stolen
- Unfreeze your card if found
- Review your transaction history
- Check meal plan or Topper Tender balances
- Deposit funds into Topper Tender
Hilltopper Card Mobile Credentials
Students and employees can also set up Mobile Credentials, which enable them to have all the functionality of the Hilltopper ID Card on their iPhone, Apple Watch, Android, and Samsung devices.
