What is a SkyCard?
Your SkyCard is the official Fort Lewis College identification card for students, staff and faculty. It should be carried with you at all times. It contains your photograph, identification number and an encoded magnetic stripe that validates you for campus entitlements and services. Many offices on campus will request your SkyCard or your ID number for verification when requesting their services.
How do I get a SkyCard?
Students must be registered for the current term to obtain a SkyCard. For students attending an orientation session, your SkyCard will be issued at a designated time during the session. The matriculation fee for new, ‘first-time’ students covers the cost of the first card.
If you are not attending an orientation session or are an employee please come by the SkyCard Service Center, 58 College Union Building, across from the campus post office. Employees must be listed in the campus database or present a copy of their signed employment contract. SkyCards will be generated for employees on or after their official employment date.
All cardholders are required to present a ‘government issued’ photo ID such as a driver’s license, passport, military ID or state/tribal identification card to obtain the first issue of the SkyCard. Ski passes or sports club memberships are not considered valid forms of identification.
Your Skycard is valid as long as you are an employee or registered student. A new card is not issued every year. The cardholder is responsible for the care of the SkyCard. Users that have damaged their cards (beyond the normal wear and tear) will be charged a replacement fee.
Where can I use my SkyCard?
The SkyCard may be used at numerous on-campus locations:
· Athletic Events
· Cafe a la Cart (Berndt Hall)
· Hungry Hawk Cafe
· Intramurals
· Jazzman’s Café
· Library (required for checking out materials)
· Lift Bus (bus sticker provided at the CUB Information Desk)
· Outdoor Pursuits
· River Rock Café
· Student Health Center
· Student Life Center (required)
· SkyCash
The SkyCard is also the meal card for students with meal plans. The mag stripe is automatically encoded when your card is generated. All meal plan patrons must use their SkyCard for access to their meal plans and associated flex dollars. For more information on Meal Plan Options please visit the Campus Dining website.
What if I lose my SkyCard?
Lost or stolen cards should be replaced as soon as possible by coming to the SkyCard Service Center across the hall from the campus Post Office in the College Union Building. There is a replacement fee of $15, which may be paid for with cash, check or by billing the student’s account. When the new card is generated, the lost card will become invalid. A photo ID is not required to replace a lost card since your photo should already be stored in our database.
A word about unauthorized use…..
Although entrusted to you, the SkyCard remains the property of the College. Unauthorized use or use by a party other than the person identified on the SkyCard, as well as tampering with or alteration of the card, warrants confiscation and possible disciplinary action by the College.
