Getting a Replacement Card

If you lose your ID card, come to Lucina Hall to report it and obtain a new ID card.

All Ball State ID cards cost $10 to replace. You will pay at the cashier’s window of the bursar's office in the basement of Lucina. The receipt of payment must be presented to the registrar's office (picture ID window), at which time you may request the original picture or a new picture be taken for the ID card.

Worn or Cracked ID Card Replacements
If you have a worn or cracked ID card you should bring it to our office in room B43 of Lucina Hall to be evaluated. Replacement of cracked, worn, or misused cards will be evaluated on a card-by-card basis. You must surrender your old card in order to obtain a new card.

Reactivating an Old ID Card
If you misplaced an ID card and later find it, do not destroy it.

Your old card becomes inactive once you have a new card. The old card, if in good condition, can be reactivated at the cashier's window in the bursar's office for a fee of $3. It will be a savings of $7 to reactivate the old card instead of getting a new ID for $10.

You can have only one active picture ID card at a time.

If you have questions, you can contact our office at 765-285-1722 or registrar@bsu.edu.
