The Office of Safety and Campus Security arranges for the issuance of photo identification badges to new students during orientation or the first week of class, typically through a student’s Program or College. ID badges are necessary to gain access onto campus and into all campus buildings, for use in the library, and for identification purposes. This badge must be worn and visible while the student is in any on-campus institutional facility or is participating in a clinical rotation at another facility. Failure to provide proper student identification may result in a member of the Security staff requesting the student to leave a University facility, denying the student admission to the University, or referring the student to the Dean of Students. If a student identification badge is damaged, lost, or stolen, the student is required to inform the Office of Safety and Security and arrange for a replacement badge. A fee of $25.00 is required to replace a lost or damaged ID badge. The replacement fee is waived if the ID badge is stolen and the student can provide a copy of the police report. Once a student has requested a replacement ID badge and the ID is printed, the previous ID badge is permanently deactivated. For this reason,it is not possible to issue a refund once the replacement process is initiated, even if the student finds their previous ID badge before receiving a new one.
Students should not:
- leave IDs on car dashboards due to excessive heat.
- punch a hole in the card.
- lend cards to anyone.
Students may put money in a declining balance account or their Munch Money account that is accessed through their ID card. Monies in the declining balance account may be used in the bookstore, cafeteria and at copy/print machines in the library and computer labs. Money may be placed on the card online at http://online.midwestern.edu by using a credit or debit card.Students can receive a refund of the balance of the monies that they uploaded (not including the 15% bump that Midwestern University gives to students for using Munch Money) remaining on their ID card upon graduation through the Business Office.
