Rambler
Shepherd University students gain access to various benefits on and off campus through their Rambler, also known as their student identification (Student ID) card. Whether you are a residential student or commuter, the Rambler card will provide you access to facilities, meal plans, vending, printing, events, and more. Follow the below links to get started or to manage your Rambler account.
Your Rambler Card account is a no fee, pre-paid, declining balance account. It has been established for the convenience of members of the Shepherd University community to access facilities, events, and purchase goods and services both on and off campus where the Rambler is accepted for payment.
