What is the ISUCard?

An ISUCard (or ISU ID) is your student/faculty/staff identification (ID) card. The ISUCard carries your university ID number and photo. Your university ID number is not the same as your social security number, though it is unique to you and serves as the number that identifies you as a student, faculty, or staff member. 

It's more than a student ID

The ISUCard verifies your status as an ISU student, faculty or staff member and provides access to university services and facilities, such as AccessPlus and the State Gym/Lied Recreation Athletic Facilities.

 

The ISUCard is your building access card, which permits entry through the campus gates, campus buildings, and residence halls. For questions, contact Building Access Services at (515) 294-8640 or visit their website.

The ISUCard is your passport to ISU Library services.

The security of your ISUCard is important. You should report the loss of your ISU Card immediately in Workday using Reports. Visual step by step found here. Once you report your card as lost or stolen it will never be an active card again.  You will be required to purchase a replacement to have a functioning card. The ISUCard Office deactivates lost or stolen cards when a new card is purchased. Unauthorized use of your ISUCard could result in some liability. There is a $25 fee to replace your ISUCard.
