Identification Card
Campus Extension: 5442
University identification cards are issued to all students when they first enter UJ. Your University ID card serves as your identification card, your meal card, your library card, your ticket into home sporting and fine arts events, provides access to assigned buildings, and must be carried with you at all times.
Students are required to show their University ID when requested by a University official, and specifically includes Campus Safety and the residence hall staff. If the student does not have his or her University ID upon request, a picture ID will be accepted. If the ID is not in the student’s possession, a member of the residence hall staff or Campus Safety will accompany the student to obtain the ID.
When the situation involves a disciplinary incident and the student refuses to show a picture ID, the Jamestown Police Department will be called to assist with the incident. Anytime the police are involved, the student will be subject to the policies and guidelines of the campus as well as North Dakota state and local laws. Students should carry their ID card at all times and should be ready to surrender their card upon request of any University official (includes dining service management).
Many University facilities (e.g., Foss Wellness Center, Cafeteria,) require University ID cards to be presented for admission to/for their respective facilities/services. The ID card does not serve as proof of birth date.
Your ID card may be rendered unusable and you will be responsible for replacement at a cost of $20 per card in any manner that is not deemed as normal wear and tear including but not limited to placing stickers on the card, placing it near a strong magnet, putting it through the wash, and bending or breaking the card, and/or hole punching the card in any way. The University will replace ID cards that, in the opinion of the Student Affairs Office, have disintegrated because of normal wear and tear.
The University’s ID printer is located in the Student Affairs Office in Lyngstad. Regular office hours are 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Students should direct inquiries pertaining to ID cards to this office.
Lost cards must be reported to the Office of Student Affairs immediately during regular business hours.
All replacement fees will be billed to the students’ university account and may be paid at the Business Office.
Allowing someone else to use your card is not allowed. Students found to be abusing someone else’s meal plan/card will be subject to the UJ Standards of Conduct.
