Daily Parking Debit Card

Use your GWorld Card as a debit card to park your vehicle.

Getting Started

How does the program work? Faculty, staff and students will be able to use their GWorld Card to park. First, you must visit the GWorld office to open a Colonial Cash account (if you don't already have one) and transfer funds to your GWorld card. Cash, check, MasterCard and Visa are accepted at the GWorld Office.

Adding Funds:

• On-line 24/7 at the GWorld Web site www.gworld.gwu.edu
• MasterCard & Visa accepted for online, phone & fax deposits
• Cash, checks, MasterCard/Visa accepted in-person at GWorld office
• Use campus VTS machines to check account balance & make cash deposits
MasterCard & Visa are also accepted for online, phone & fax deposits.

Thereafter, you may visit the GWorld Web site to add money to your GWorld Card using a credit card or use one of the VTS (Value Transfer Station) machines located throughout campus.

VTS Locations:

• Burns Law Library (1st floor behind information desk; 2nd floor near elevator)
• Gelman Library (1st floor computer lab; 3rd floor near turnstile & 3rd floor near Information Desk
• Himmelfarb Medical Library (near first floor stairs)
• Marvin Center (ground floor near the South Entrance)
• (Coming Soon) University Garage, 22nd Street location

Then, return to the Parking Office to activate your parking debit. Please be aware of the following rules:

Do's

• ALWAYS have a balance on your Debit Card equal to or greater than the MAXIMUM daily parking rate.
• SWIPE IN/SWIPE OUT sequence. If you swipe to gain access to the garage, you must swipe out to exit! Parking rates are deducted upon exit. The card reader will provide you a balance upon entry and exit.
• Swipe your card FACE UP from LEFT to RIGHT.
• ALLOW up to 15 seconds after initial swipe before swiping again.
• If the gate does not rise, pull a ticket and park. However, YOU MUST visit the Parking Office to have your card reset.

Don'ts

• DO NOT enter a facility without having the maximum daily parking rate on your card.
• DO NOT allow your cards' magnetic stripe to be directly against another card with a magnetic stripe.
DO NOT allow your card to become cracked or bent.

Pulling a Ticket vs. Card Swipe

If you pull a ticket to enter and the issue is not resolved prior to exiting, you will be required to pay the posted daily rate with the ticket at the exit. The Parking Office must check your card for the problem and if necessary, reset your card for a proper exit.

If you swipe your card and the arm gate does not rise, allow 15 seconds before trying your card again. If that does not work, then you may pull a ticket and immediately visit the Parking Office so your card can be RESET.

Your parking debit card is setup on an IN/OUT SEQUENCE. The Office must check your card for the problem and if necessary, reset your card for a proper exit.

Negative Debit Balances

If you exit with a negative balance, you will not be allowed to re-enter unless funds have been added.

Once again, thank you for your participation in our customer service initiative. Enjoy the convenience of the program!
