Lost / Damaged IDs
Lost cards
Lost cards should be reported to the Tech Center immediately. The Tech Center will deactivate the building access for that card and notify Dining Services and the Library of the lost card. They in turn will deactivate the lost card in their systems.
Cards identified as 'lost' will no longer work in the library, building access or Dining Services. A new card can be obtained at the Tech Center in Hagen 206. Replacement cards will have a different internal number which necessitates all records in campus systems being updated with the new code.
The Concordia University ID number ("G-number") does not change.
Contact Sodexo to update your meal plan for your replacement card.
Replacement card fee
A fee of $10 may be assessed for the replacement of a lost ID card. This fee may be waived for replacements cards issued in the case of card failure due to normal wear and tear.
