Access Cards
An access card is used to gain entry into a locked building or room instead of using keys.
New incoming students who attend orientation will receive their access card with their University ID. Students that did not attend orientation will need to go to the Iowa One Card office.
- Maintain, secure and be responsible for any access card issued.
- Do not share or loan your card.
- Report loss or theft of access card to the Department of Public Safety, residence hall desk, supervisor, building coordinator, or Access Services.
- Do not punch a hole in the card.
The card is the property of the University of Iowa. It is non-transferable and must be returned to the university upon request or separation.
To report a lost or stolen card, follow the detailed instructions on the Iowa One Card website.
Please notify the Iowa One Card office immediately if you discover that your card is lost or stolen. Promptly reporting the card missing will protect you from improper charges to your account and other misuse of the Iowa One Card.
If you suspect the theft and/or unauthorized use of your card, report it immediately to the Department of Public Safety, residence hall desk, supervisor, building coordinator, or Access Services.
