Lost or Stolen 49er Card?

If your 49er ID Card is lost or stolen, you should suspend the use of your card online as soon as possible using 49er Card Online.

You can also report a lost or stolen card immediately either in person or by telephone to the ID Office (704‑687‑7040) or the 49er Card Office (704‑687‑7337) during normal business hours of 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. If after hours, report the lost or stolen card to your RA or the Campus Police. When a card is lost or stolen, the account balance cannot be protected until the card is reported. You may go to the Student Union ID Office or the Meal Plans/49er Card Office to have card unsuspended if it is later found or to purchase a new card.

The cardholder is responsible for all usage of the card prior to proper notification to the ID Office, 49er Card Office or Police and Public Safety.

Temporary Cards may be issued at no cost and may be used for seven (7) days, after which the cards must be returned and new card may be purchased for $15.

There is a $15 replacement fee for lost or damaged cards. If the card is stolen and a police report is filed, you may bring a copy of the police report for a free replacement card.

Replacement cards are made at the ID Office or the Meal Plans/49er Card Office during regular business hours. You bear sole responsibility for any funds spent between the time the card was lost or stolen and the time you report it.

Unspent 49er Account and ODA funds stay available and roll over semester to semester, year to year, as long as the student is enrolled. Upon graduation or withdrawal, any remaining monies over $5 are refundable.
