Question 1: Ive lost
my student I.D. What do I
do? First, report your lost
student I.D. to the cafeteria
office, Monday - Friday
8 am - 4:30 p.m. to safe
guard your meal account,
even if its an unlimited
plan. You don’t want any
one using your I.D illegally
and stealing your meals and
the money on your student I. D. at the BC
Diner Then you’ll want to go to directly
to Campus Life and get a new I.D. made
right away. If you don’t have the $25 to
replace your I.D., your student account
will be billed. You have one week in which
to locate your lost student I.D before any
charges incur for the new
student I.D.

Lost and Found department on
campus? Yes! It’s located in
Coltrane on the top floor Items

Money Matters
Still parking without a
parking decal? Better
think twice about
that. If you happen
to receive a ticket for
failing to have the
proper parking decal,
it will cost you $130
and a trip to see Dean
Holland. So, don’t set
yourself up for a bad
day, get your parking
decal today in Campus
Life, top floor.
