ID Card Policy

Out of concern for safety and security, college housing is locked twenty-four (24) hours each day. Student identification cards are programmed to unlock access doors on college residence halls and some village housing units. Students are expected to arry their ID cards with them at all times. Identification cars may not be loaned or given to anyone else, nor may they be altered. Residents may not allow people who are not their guests into college housing buildings. Tampering with a building's exterior door system or propping open an exterior door may result in disciplinary action.

Lost cards are to be reported immediately to the Office of Residential Education and Dining Services during weekday hours and to the Office of Safety and Security after hours, so they can be deactivated. Temporary replacement access cards are available evenings and weekends from the Office of Safety and Security. Temporary replacement dining cards are available evenings and weekends from Stevenson Dining Hall with proof of notification of a lost or stolen card from Safety and Security. Damaged or altered cards can damage the access and cash terminals. Students must replace damaged or altered cards immediately. Damaged cards will be replaced free of charge.

Students are required to show their ID card when asked to do so by a college official. Misuse of, altering, forging, contributing to the fraudulent use of, or failing to show an ID card may result in a fine and/or disciplinary action.
