What is a Holy Cross Crusader OneCard?
The Crusader OneCard is your Holy Cross ID. It looks like an ordinary ID, but it's much more than that! Your OneCard allows you to access your residence hall, your meal plan, and your Crusader Express account. And the OneCard is your library card. It is also your official Holy Cross identification and it should be carried with you whenever you are on campus.
