In order to keep our promise of "no fee transactions," we require a minimum of a $5.00 deposit to reduce credit card fees which will help to offset credit card fees back to the myCard Office. If I make a deposit to myCard online with a credit card, is it considered a purchase or a cash advance? Deposits to myCard accounts are always processed as purchases.
Yes, it is possible for your account to go into a negative balance if the system is "offline." Under normal circumstances, the system will not allow a transaction to go through if there are not enough funds in your account. You may use your myCard to make purchases where accepted, provided funds are available in your myCard account. You are liable for all purchases that exceed the funds available in your myCard account.
Cash withdrawals are not allowed.

The myCard Program does not operate on funding from the College, but on a cost recovery basis. The fee for replacement cards goes towards purchase of cards, ribbons, equipment, staff and general operation costs.
No. Your funds remain on your account, which you will be able to access with a replacement card. Please note that lost myCards must be reported immediately so that no one can access your account without your knowledge, and you are responsible for any charges to you myCard account prior to you deactivating it.
Periodically, the myCard system may go down and will run offline. "Offline" means you can still purchase things, as the system is set to allow a limited number of transactions to occur while in "offline" mode. Once the myCard system comes back online, it adds up all of the transactions or purchases you have made and charges them against your myCard. If there is not enough money on your myCard to cover the purchases, your account goes into a negative balance. Once back online, should your account be in a negative balance, no further purchases will be allowed until funds have been deposited back on to your account. The myCard Office checks for negative balances on a regular basis and will advise you of the situation via email, using your Centennial email account. However, you are responsible for being aware of your account balance, and are responsible if it goes into the negative. If you do not repay the amount due, the myCard Office may transfer the outstanding balance to your Centennial account for collection.

Under the new system, when you top up your myCard account, the tax is not charged in advance. Instead, the print prices have been adjusted to include tax at the time a print is made.
