Gull Card FAQs

What is the Gull Card?

The Gull Card is a multi-functional card that serves as your free, official Salisbury University University ID. All faculty, staff and students should carry their Gull Card with them at all times while on campus. Your Gull Card is necessary for accessing services at Blackwell Library, Maggs Physical Activities Center, residence halls, computer labs and other services throughout campus.

Your Gull Card may also be used as a debit card, a prepaid declining balance account that enables plan participants to make cash-free purchases at all campus locations that accept the Gull Card and participating off-campus merchants.

Where do I get a Gull Card?

The Gull Card is issued at all on-campus orientation sessions. The Gull Card Office is located in the Commons Building (CB) Room 036.
Cards may be obtained by any registered student or active employee during office hours. Your initial card is free. A replacement fee of $25 is charged for all lost or stolen cards. Cards that malfunction with no apparent damage are replaced free of charge. You may contact the Gull Card Office at 410-543-6053 or by email at gullcard@salisbury.edu .

Can I get Cash off my Gull Card?

At this time, you are not able to take cash off of your Gull Card. If we were to "payout" cash the Gull Card program would technically be functioning as a bank. In doing so we would need to conform to banking regulations. If this were the case, we would need to initiate several fee structures to support such an endeavor.

What do I do if I think I have an incorrect charge on my account?

First you would want to log on to your Gull Card account via our web page and choose the Activity Check option to get an up to date list of your transactions.
If you still believe that there is an incorrect charge on our account or don't understand certain charges on your account, please contact the Gull Card Office by stopping by the Commons Building Room 036, calling 410-543-6053 or sending an email to gullcard@salisbury.edu .

Why are there no Super Markets or Gas Stations that take the Gull Card?

There are currently over two dozen off-campus merchants who accept the Gull Card ( please check the list on the home page), and we are currently working on adding more merchants to that list. Currently all off-campus vendors are assessed 5% of their gross monthly sale.

Super Markets and Gas Stations don't maintain a profit margin to support a 5% share. The University is reviewing the possibility of " Service Provider" contracts. These targeted vendors may negotiate a different rate based on University needs.
