Policy
As the primary source of identification, students are expected to carry their I.D. card with them at all times and to present it to the University police or other University officials whenever requested in order to maintain the security of the University and in the abidance of University policy.
It is illegal to manufacture false I.D. cards or to deface, alter or knowingly use altered or false I.D. cards. It is also a violation of University policy to misrepresent yourself in order to ascertain a false I.D. card. Violators will be dealt with under the University's Code of Conduct.
I.D. cards are valid as long as student is matriculating, in good conduct standing and associated with the University. I.D. cards must be surrendered to the Student Life Office, when a student graduates, withdraws, transfers or otherwise leaves the University. All changes or additions to this policy will be made available to all University students and personnel.
Procedures
Each student receives a photo identification card, free of charge, after they are initially enrolled at the University. Replacement of lost or damaged cards or request for new cards will cost $10.00. Students must present another form of picture identification at that time and additionally a verification of enrollment status will occur.
Temporary Identification Cards are available at no charge and are valid for three days.
Identification Cards are the property of Bloomsburg University and can only be used for University purposes. I.D. Cards are not transferable. All questions regarding the Identification Card system or process should be directed to the Office of Student Standards, Elwell Residence Hall, 389-4064.
