How to Get a MataCard

Show your MataCard right from your iPhone, Apple Watch or Android phone. Use it anywhere a CSUN ID is requested.

New CSUN Students

  1. If you're a new CSUN student, log in to the CSUN Portal with your CSUN user ID and password. Under Top Tools, select Student Center.

  2. On the Student Center page, under Finances, select Pay Photo Processing Fee to pay the $5 fee.

  3. Check your CSUN email account for an invitation to upload a photo and another form of identification. The email should arrive within two business days.

  4. Once your photo is approved, you'll receive an email prompting you to download the Transact eAccounts app and authenticate your digital MataCard.
