Security and Convenience
Your Lawrence University Identification Card is much like a credit card.
If your card is lost or stolen it can be deactivated immediately! For your personal security, report all missing or lost I.D. cards as soon as possible to the I.D. Office. Call ext. 6654 between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm Monday
through Friday, or leave a voice mail message to report your missing card. A temporary meal pass may be issued until a new card is obtained for the next 24 hours.
Any lost or damaged card will be replaced with a fee of $20.00.
Fast and Easy to Use
- Present your card to the checker or cashier.
- The card is run through a "reader" that automatically deducts a meal or amount of your purchases.
- Your new balance is electronically displayed on the card reader.

Take good care of your card because it is yours to use throughout the entire length of your stay at Lawrence University.
- Do NOT punch holes in the card
- Do NOT bend, fold, expose your card to excessive heat, wash or otherwise mutilate your card.
- Do NOT expose your card to magnetic fields such as T.V.'s, magnets, stereos, etc.
