Â鶹ÊÓƵ ID Cards
The Â鶹ÊÓƵ Identification Card (Â鶹ÊÓƵ ID) is issued to faculty, staff and students. The number on the card is the assigned Â鶹ÊÓƵ Identification Number that is used in maintaining personnel and academic records while the bearer is part of the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Community.
The Â鶹ÊÓƵ ID Card is also used to screen access to university functions, designated buildings, library services, receive possible discounts, eagle bucks and may be requested by Public Safety as proof of university status whenever an identity check is carried out.
The Â鶹ÊÓƵ ID Card should be in the possession of the faculty, staff and students whenever on campus. For Law School students the ID card needs to be coded for building access, garage access, and library access after closing hours.
Department of Public Safety may, at times, request the Â鶹ÊÓƵ ID card be presented whenever entering the WCL campus. In the event of card loss, a freeze on the monies can be placed on the card at eaglebucks.com or emailing idcards@american.edu.
