What is the HPU Passport Card?
As a cashless campus, the HPU Passport card is an exclusive transaction method for students, faculty and staff. In a unique university-city partnership, HPU has extended the Passport card footprint to include businesses throughout the city of High Point. Today, nearly 100 local businesses accept the card, providing exclusive access to more than 5,000 customers. HPU receives no monetary gain from this partnership. The goal is simply to connect local businesses with a thriving university community.
As High Point’s University, HPU partnership programs are for High Point-based businesses only. If your business is interested in becoming a Passport Partner, please use this form.
