Lost or Damaged Campus ID Card
If you lost your Campus ID Card or your Campus ID Card is damaged that the dining hall checker cannot verify your meal plan, you must get a replacement in order to obtain access to the dining halls. The ID Card Services Office is located inside the University Bookstore. You may contact the ID Card Services Office (562) 985-7388 if you have any additional questions.
In the event the Campus ID Card Services Office is closed, you will need to obtain a Dining Hall Authorization form from the Housing Service Center. The Housing Service Center will verify if the student is a resident of the halls. The authorization form will allow the resident to temporarily access the dining hall for meals until the campus ID Card Services Office is open (for example: on weekends).
If the resident loses his Campus ID Card, the resident must present a pictured government issued ID or picture ID with their name to verify that he lives in the halls. A Dining Hall Authorization Form may also be obtained from the dining hall supervisor to temporarily gain entry to the dining hall for meals. This also applies to Campus ID Cards which may be damaged, or the dining hall cannot verify the meal plan.
Each resident is given three (3) occurrences in a semester in which to gain entry into the dining hall without a valid 澳门六开彩开奖结果资料查询 Campus ID by using the Dining Hall Authorization form. After the resident has exhausted all three occurrences, the resident will not be allowed to access the dining hall until they can provide a valid working Campus ID card. If the resident cannot provide a valid working Campus ID card, the resident may purchase a meal by paying guest rate at the door. If the resident does not want to purchase a meal, the dining hall will provide a sack meal for the resident.
