Graduate Students pay $10 for a prox card when they come into the office to obtain their card because the orientation fee does not cover the cost of the card.

Lombardi requires a WolfCard and paid membership for access into the building by students, faculty, staff, affiliates and a Lombardi card for all other memberships.

The WolfCard and Wolfpass are two different cards. You will need to keep your Wolfpass to ride on the bus.

The Prox card is actually a key or building door access card. The ID Office is working with Campus Police on re-carding building staff from the old white key card to the new combination WolfCard/Prox card. Campus Police will notify the departments when we are ready to schedule re-carding for a building. Staff in that building requiring a prox card will need to bring a new, approved security form to the ID Office in the Joe Crowley Student Union to obtain the card. The security form will then go to Police so the new card can be activated and the old card de-activated in the system.

• Are you enrolled for classes? (student) A student must be registered for at least one class for his/her card to function.
• Did you freeze/unfreeze your card? If you froze your card and obtained a replacement, you must "unfreeze" your account for your new card to work.
• Did you report a lost card found to campus police? If so, contact campus police.
• Ask your supervisor or department head if your status has changed.
• Does the door security device beep when you tap your card against it? If not, your card has been damaged. The card has imbedded copper wires that may be broken if the card is bent. NEVER carry your card loose in your pants pocket - this is a sure way to break the wires. Prox cards should be kept in a rigid holder.
• Replacement cost for a lost or damaged prox card is $15.
