Faxes
You can send or receive faxes at the Concierge! Faxes cost .50c per page plus tax. We also require that you have a cover sheet, which we provide.
Copies
There is a copy machine close to the Concierge desk in the Anderson University Center (AUC). If you're a PLU student, you just have to swipe your card to make your copies. If you're a guest, we can loan you a card and then ring you up for the amount of copies you made. The price for everyone is .06c per copy.
Computers
There are four computers in the AUC for public use. While you can't print from them, they are great for checking your e-mail between classes, looking up a schedule, or any other little thing you may need to do! Time use is limited to fifteen minutes, but they're great if you don't want to go all the way back to your room or the library to check something.

Dining dollars are used to buy food items, tax free, at any campus restaurant. Students may want to supplement their meal plan with additional Dining Dollars. There are two ways to purchase dining dollars:
In-person at the Concierge Desk: Make sure you bring your Lutecard and preferred method of payment to the Concierge, and we'll add Dining Dollars to your account that will be available to use right away! There is a minimum purchase of $25, and they do expire at the end of Spring Semester. Pay with cash/check, debit/credit, or Lutebucks. Note: You cannot charge your student account at the desk!
Online: Complete an online request form to purchase Dining Dollars (still a $25 minimum fee, whole dollar amounts only). Within 72 hours, dining dollars will be added to your Lutecard and a charge will be made to your student account.

Lost something? Check with us!
Lost and found items are turned in all over campus, so tracking down your lost items can sometimes be a challenge. Lost belongings are most frequently returned to us, so we should be your first stop!
We always keep lost Lutecards, debit cards, and keys that aren't PLU keys [lost PLU keys go to Residential Life]. We also get other items turned in to us such as journals, backpacks, water bottles, jewelry, and clothes.
These miscellaneous items are kept at the Concierge for a week before being sent them to Campus Safety. Residence hall keys may occasionally get turned in to us, but we give them to Residential Life as soon as we get them. If your items aren't with us, we'd be happy to call Campus Safety or Residential Life to check if they have the items! If not, we can take down your information and contact you if the item gets returned to us.
The Concierge is the University's ID Card Office; we issue all new and replacement Lutecards. If your card isn't working as expected, visit the Concierge desk and we'll fix it for you! Or, bring your card here if you need to add Lutebucks or Dining dollars! If your Lutecard has been lost or stolen, report it to us right away. You can call us at 253-535-7411 or click HERE to report it lost online. For more information, visit the Lutecard website.
