BuffOne Card

The BuffOne Card serves as your campus identification, and it allows you to add funds to dine in campus restaurants, print documents and enter sporting events.

  • You may submit a photo to the BuffOne Card Office in advance so that your card will be waiting for you when you stop by their office to pick it up. Email your photo to boc@colorado.edu. 

Your Buff OneCard is your bus pass and is included with your student fees.  Access includes all Local, Limited, Express and Regional bus and light rail service, in all fare zones, including the AB1 and AB2 bus service to DIA.
