The card holder can load funds onto their Colonial Card in person with cash, or online with a credit or debit card. Card holders can also invite a guest to make deposits to their account (see the next FAQ for details).

Cash can be deposited to a Colonial Card at a 'cash to card' Valueport machine. Valueports are located outside the Colonial Cafe on the Main Campus, and in the main lobby of the Northeast Regional Center. Card holders should follow the directions on the Valueport. They will receive a receipt of their deposit and their account balance at the end of the transaction.

Cardholders can add funds online with a credit or debit card by selecting the Deposit to Account option on their account. Students are directed to their online account when they select Colonial Card under Campus Life on MyCCP; employees are directed to their account when they select Colonial Card under General Links on MyCCP. The Colonial Card link also offers the card holder options to view their Current Balance and Transaction History.

Cash and online deposits are limited to $500.00 per transaction. However, card holders or guests wishing to deposit more can do so with an additional transaction. Funds are secure as long as the card holder reports a lost or stolen card immediately.
