• You can still use your meal plan by presenting an alternate form of identification, such as a driver’s license or an ID card from another institution.
• Inform the cashier of your school ID number, and they will use it to complete your sale.

• The cashier will place a "lost card block" on your account to prevent unauthorized use of your Meal Plan or Laker Dining Dollars.
• This block allows you to continue using your meal plan for two business days while your account is protected.

• After two business days, your account will be deactivated until you visit the ID and Dining Services Office in Room 503, Culkin Hall.
• Bring your current ID card to unblock your account if you find it.
• If your card is lost, your first replacement is free. Additional replacement cards cost:
  • $10 for a new card
  • $5 if you turn in an old ID

• You can still use your meal plan over the weekend, even with a blocked card.

It is the policy of the State University of New York (SUNY) to issue identification cards to students at its campuses. SUNY Oswego requires all students to carry a valid SUNY Oswego identification card to ensure the safety of students and the entire campus community. 

The identification card (including digital identification cards) must be presented or surrendered upon request of a duly authorized University official, including but not limited to Residence Life and Housing staff members, University Police, Student Affairs staff, contractors, or other staff authorized by the University to supervise campus events, activities, and residence halls. Individuals may be required to reveal their faces to confirm identity when needed to maintain campus safety or security. Upon request, students must show all identifying information shown on the card and/or surrender the card to the requesting official.

Intentional refusal to present or surrender a student identification card upon request by a University official; alteration or falsification of data on an identification card; creation and/or distribution of falsified identification cards; using an identification card to impersonate others; or refusal to reveal one’s face to confirm identity; are violations of this policy and may result in disciplinary action.

It is the student’s responsibility to replace the identification card if it is confiscated, stolen, lost, bent, broken, or worn beyond the point of readability by University officials and/or card readers used by the University. Replacement cards may be obtained at the I.D. Office, in accordance with posted fees.

SUNY Oswego identification cards are provided for appropriate identification use and access to buildings and services.  The cards are not transferable and are valid as long as the holder continues their specific affiliation with the campus.  A campus identification card is to be used only by the person to whom it is issued. Lost or stolen cards should be reported immediately to the I.D. and Dining Office, 503 Culkin Hall, or to University Policy if their loss represents a security risk.

Auxiliary Services and the University are not liable for any charges or other damages incurred if an ID is lost and used by another.
