Replace I-Card
Lost or Stolen I-Card
If your I-Card is lost or stolen, report it immediately to the I-Card Office or Security Office. Upon notification, the I-Card will be disabled. There is a $10 fee to replace a damaged, stolen, or lost I-Card ($20 for a Prox card). The University is not responsible for the inappropriate use of lost or stolen I-Cards, including any loss of I-Card Dollars or Dining Dollars, prior to being notified.

Name Change
If you need to replace a card because of a name change, simply bring the old card to the I-Card Office, and it will be replaced free of charge.

Adding Funds to Your I-Card

Add funds to your Dining Dollars account - funds specifically for food services on campus
Deposit money from a bank account into your I-Card account, which can be used all over campus for vending machines, printers, purchases, etc.

Policies

The BYU-Idaho I-Card is the official identification card for students, faculty, and administrators at BYU-Idaho. The I-Card is also a declining balance card (debit card) used at various locations across campus.

The I-Card allows you to:
  • Provide identification
  • Access certain campus events
  • Check out library materials
  • Gain admittance to athletic facilities
  • Utilize Cashier Services
  • Obtain campus event tickets
  • Access the Testing Center
  • Spend pre-deposited funds on campus

The I-Card is yours to use, but it remains the property of BYU-Idaho. The I-Card must be returned to the University upon request. Fraudulent use of any I-Card may result in disciplinary action. You are entitled to have only ONE I-Card in your possession.

University departments, personnel, or community businesses may not ask to retain your I-Card as collateral for goods or services. Report any such occurrences to the I-Card Office.

In order to minimize your losses, it is your responsibility to inform the I-Card Office if you believe your card has been lost or stolen.

You may use the I-Card to purchase school supplies at University Store. Charges will be applied to your Personal Account and can be paid online or at Cashier's Services. You may also use the I-Card for purchases at the following locations, but you must pre-deposit money to your I-Card account first:
  • Crossroads (University Cafeteria)
  • Copy Spot
  • Computer Labs
All students registered for class may obtain an I-Card beginning one week before the start of the semester they are attending. The spouse of a student may obtain an I-Card for free. Dependents of students are not eligible to obtain an I-Card.
Full-Time Employees
All full-time employees are entitled to an employee I-Card. A spouse and family members of full-time employees are also entitled to have an I-Card. Dependent children 8 to 26 will be issued an I-Card free of charge (covered dependents are defined as unmarried dependents living in the same household).

Part-Time Employees
Regular part-time employees are entitled to an I-Card. However, spouses and children are not eligible.

  • Care for your I-Card the same as you would your driver's license, credit card, or cash
  • Do not bend the I-Card (card readers cannot read bent or cracked cards)
  • Do not wash your card (doing so may damage the magnetic strip)
  • Do not use the card as an ice scraper to clean your car windows
  • Keep the back of the card away from the back of other cards with magnetic strips (magnetic fields can erase each other)
  • Keep your card away from any magnetic fields, such as stereo speakers or magnetic boards found at grocery stores and some department stores
