Pacific Lutheran University provides students with a
free university identification card at the time of the student's
enrollment. This card, called a LuteCard, is the property of PLU.
LuteCards support many privileges granted to members of the PLU
community. These privileges include access to events, facilities
and parking areas, meal plan access, convenient purchasing power and
identification for university business. Students must carry their
LuteCard with them at all times while on campus. Failure to
provide a LuteCard to university staff members who are performing their
job function may result in disciplinary action. (Note: See "False Information"
and "Non-Cooperation" sections.) Cards deemed unusable may be confiscated or
refused by university employees performing their job functions.
Unusable or confiscated cards must be replaced at the holder’s expense.
As university property, LuteCards must not be altered or defaced in any
manner. LuteCards and the privileges they support are not
transferable. Under no circumstance is a student to provide their
LuteCard to another individual to use for any purpose. Under no
circumstance is a student to use a LuteCard issued to another member of
the PLU community for any purpose. Unless reported lost, students
are responsible for any use or misuse of their LuteCard. Misuse
of a LuteCard may result in confiscation of the card and disciplinary
action via the Student Conduct system. Any student found to be in
violation of this policy via the Student Conduct system is subject to
removal of privileges supported by the LuteCard and/or responsible for
restitution for financial damages caused by misuse.
Students are responsible for reporting lost LuteCards and replacing
their LuteCard immediately at their own expense. Cards must be
returned upon graduation or withdrawal from the university. The
LuteCard and Information Center is located on the main floor of the
University Center.
