Your ID card identifies you as a member of the Lehigh University community. This card enabled the University to develop a "one-card" system with the goal of improving access and services for the safety and convenience of the University community.
Your University ID card should be treated with care. Holes, creases, cuts and improperly applied stickers will render the card inoperable. Please do not leave the card in direct sunlight, near heat sources or in contact with magnetic fields.
Because your identification card will also access your residence hall, academic building, meal plan and GoldPLUS account, you will need to safeguard it at all times.

Please DO NOT punch holes in your ID Card
