51²è¹Ý ID Cards
The 51²è¹Ý Identification Card (51²è¹Ý ID) is issued to faculty, staff and students. The number on the card is the assigned 51²è¹Ý Identification Number that is used in maintaining personnel and academic records while the bearer is part of the 51²è¹Ý Community.
The 51²è¹Ý ID Card is also used to screen access to university functions, designated buildings, library services, receive possible discounts, eagle bucks and may be requested by Public Safety as proof of university status whenever an identity check is carried out.
The 51²è¹Ý ID Card should be in the possession of the faculty, staff and students whenever on campus. For Law School students the ID card needs to be coded for building access, garage access, and library access after closing hours.
Department of Public Safety may, at times, request the 51²è¹Ý ID card be presented whenever entering the WCL campus. In the event of card loss, a freeze on the monies can be placed on the card at eaglebucks.com or emailing idcards@american.edu.
