Rules and Tips for Students to Protect Their Credit Ratings and Card Privileges.
A student credit card is designed for high school and college students and usually works the same way as any credit card that has been issued by a financial institution. In general a student credit card merely has a few more restrictions relative to non-student cards.

1) Budgeting Beauty

Take time to establish a monthly budget for yourself, one that includes your credit card payments. Watch your bills and compare them with your budget each and every month.

2) Adjust Your Spending

Make spending adjustments when necessary. Being prepared for unexpected and planned unexpected expenses is the best way to guarantee that your credit history remains clean and strong.

3) Credit Your Credit

Use your credit responsibly. Be especially sensitive to the payment agreements you made when you established your accounts.

4) Limit Your Limit

The credit limit shown on your statement is the maximum amount that the institution that issued your card is prepared to lend you. Avoid spending to your limit. Charging over your limit is usually considered a violation of your agreement.

5) On Time Every Time

When a card statement arrives at your home, the most important item to notice is the payment due date. Your payment must reach the financial institution by the payment due date whether paying the minimum or paying the total.

6) Minimum Maximum

Always be prepared to make at least the minimum payment. If you wish to reduce your finance charges, or plan to make a number of additional purchases in the coming month, consider paying a larger amount.

7) Stay In Touch

If you change your name or address notify your lender immediately. Send your updated information before the fact, not after. Your payment could turn into a late payment in the time it takes for a statement to be forwarded to your new address.
