Replacement Cards
Lost and Stolen Cards: If your card is lost or stolen, please immediately notify the EagleCard Office. Your card will be reported as lost in the EagleCard system, which prevents the funds on the card from being used by someone other than the card holder.
The EagleCard Office can be reached at (509) 359-6184, Monday - Friday, from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM.
EagleCards are non-transferable! Your card is for you and you only. If you attempt to use another person's card, it will be confiscated.
Replacement Fee: Replacement cards cost $30. The fee can be paid at the EagleCard Office at the time of service with cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, or Eagle Flex. Cards over four years of age will be replaced at no charge.
Old Cards: Once a new card is produced, you cannot go back to an old card. This is a security feature built into our system for the protection of our card holders and cannot be overridden.
Name Change: After legally changing your name, you may contact Records and Registration to request that your name be changed in the University Banner system. Once we can see your name change has been processed, you may purchase a new card for $30. Please note that NetIDs are now printed on all EagleCards and NetIDs are not automatically changed when the name change is processed. To change your NetID, please contact the Help Desk.
Preferred Name: If you would like to use a preferred name rather than your legal name, you may contact Records and Registration to request that your preferred name be added to your record in the University Banner system. Once your preferred name has been updated, you may purchase a new card for $30.

A physical form of photo identification is required.*
Retirees: Upon retiring from the University, the Benefits Office will issue a voucher for a retiree card. In order to receive a retiree card, both the voucher and the current employee card must be presented.
Please Note: Students employed by the University may not receive an employee card. Employees enrolled in University classes may not receive a student card.
*Physical forms of photo identification may include but are not limited to: passports, driver's licenses, high school ID cards, etc.
Specialty Cards
Department ID Badge: These cards are issued at the request of the department for employees and students needing supplemental identification. New and replacement Department IDs will be issued only after an official request from a department supervisor. A valid record must be pre-existing in the current carding system in order for our staff to process these requests.
