A: If your ID card is lost, damaged, or no longer functions and is less than four years old the $25 replacement fee will apply. Please note that this fee will apply to cards that do not appear visibly damaged as the Campus Card Office cannot attest to what stresses were placed on the card that caused it to malfunction. Our ID cards are designed to last at least four years under normal use and conditions.

There will be no charge for a new ID card related to the following:
A name change
A title change
The first ID card issued

A: For new employees, your card will be available no earlier than your first day of employment.

With the new technology, the patron bar coding system is no longer used on the Stony Brook campus card. Libraries (including the Melville Library and HSC Library) have been retooled to accept your campus card and read the sixteen digit number of the front of your card as your patron identification. If you have any questions/concerns, please visit either library's main circulation desk.
