Husky Bucks

So you have your I.D. now what is it good for? If you don’t know or need a reminder, on the Torrington Campus your Husky One Card is your library card AND is debit card to pay for printing and copying at any of the university machines. When you need to print, you have to slide the card through the reader near the machine. You can also use it at the Co-op and at Chiane’s. Putting some cash on your card isn’t a bad idea. You will always have some snack money or a buck to buy a pen when you forget one before the big test. The best part about having Husky Bucks on your card is, you can’t put them in the tank of your car or blow them at Dunkin Donuts on the way to school.

To put some cash on your card for free, see Diane in the Co-op OR you (or your parents) can do on line with a credit card for a small fee by going to http://www.onecard.uconn.edu/index.html

Wireless Access for non-UConn visitors

The Regional Campus Libraries (Avery Point, Greater Hartford, Stamford, Torrington and Waterbury)  now have GuestReg Kiosks dedicated to walk-in GuestID Network registration only. Individuals not affiliated with UConn seeking computer or wireless access to the University Network with a personal computer or wireless device are considered guests and need to register at these Kiosks and present photo identification to library staff. The University has ID Centers at several locations with these GuestReg Kiosks.
