What do I do if My Mcard or it is Lost, Stolen, or Breaks?

A lost or stolen Mcard has to be reported immediately to the Student Development Office. You are responsible for any transactions made on your card until it is reported. However, upon reporting the issue, your card will be held in a lost-denied status until you report it found or get a replacement card. A broken, lost, or stolen card has to be replaced and the replacement fee is $10. Your ID number will not change nor will any balance that you had up until the time you report it lost, stolen, or broken. The old card, if found, is not valid because of a computerized numbering system.

If your Mcard has been held, and it is not because you reported it lost or stolen, please call the Mcard office, 355-8265 for more information.
