A LuteCard is your University ID Card, your library card, your on-campus meal plan card, and even an on-campus debit card. You will need your LuteCard to access most PLU campus events, and to access the swimming pool and Names Fitness Center. You will also need it to access to your residence hall.  Pick up your Lutecard at the Campus Concierge desk located in the University Center.

The first day new students are able to get their LuteCard is May 27

The Community Standards Module is a dynamic module that covers important policies and skills for new students to PLU. This module is mandatory and required for all new students to PLU. On August 1, 2013 instructions on how to complete the module and the due date will be sent to your PLU e-mail address. We thank you for your patience. If you have any questions, please contact conduct@plu.edu.

PLU offers commuter and residential parking passes, subsidized orca cards, walking escorts, and is home to a few Zipcars. 

Check out which commuting option will work best for you HERE

Hint: Parking passes and Orca Card requests take a few days to process, plan ahead to get yours before the first day of classes
