Lost Eagle ID:
If you have lost your Eagle ID, you may get a replacement ID (cost $20) printed at the card office during our regular business hours. If the card office is closed, you can use your Digital ID on GET Mobile at all dining locations on campus. For access to your residence hall, please visit your front desk for a temporary access card.
You are also able to mark your card as “lost’” on GET Mobile, doing so will make your physical card inactive. If you find your card to reactivate it, please call, email, or stop into the card office.
Campus Cash
Campus Cash is a declining balance account that you can access using your Eagle ID Card. It can be used to purchase items at campus locations such as the University Bookstore, all dining locations, snack & beverage vending machines, printing, and to do laundry in the Residence Halls. When you use your Eagle ID card to make purchases, the cost is deducted from your Campus Cash balance. Campus Cash will be carried/rolled over from semester to semester until the student graduates or is no longer associated with the university. Currently Campus Cash is only available to students.

Campus Cash Policy
All current students have access to a Campus Cash Account that they are responsible for funding. Money must be deposited into the account by the user for the account to be active. A student can deposit a maximum of $500.00 per semester into their Campus Cash account if they choose to add it to their university bill. Deposits using cash and credit/debit cards may be made at any time for any amount over $10.00 in $5.00 increments.
Campus Cash will be carried/rolled over from semester to semester until the student graduates or is no longer associated with the university. After six months of inactivity, the Campus Cash account will be closed if the account owner is no longer associated with the University. An attempt will be made to contact the account owner if the balance of the account is greater than $50.00, otherwise, the balance will be placed in the appropriate University Centers Account.
Process
Students can deposit funds into their Campus Cash account using various methods. In the Dining Plan/Eagle ID Card office, deposits can be made using cash, checks or by billing their student account. When using GET Mobile, credit and debit cards or the Bill Me function (which bills their student account) can be used. Parents can deposit funds (if they have their student’s ID number) using a credit/debit card on GET Mobile. Please note that GET Mobile does not accept international credit/debit cards and students wanting to use this form of payment will need to either use the Bill Me function or make deposits in the Dining Plan/Eagle ID Card Office with cash or a check.
