Card Care

  • The cardholder is responsible for the care of the card.
  • The card should not be handled roughly or stored in warm or hot places (ie. behind auto sunvisors, in gloveboxes, on dashboards, etc.).
  • Your card should not be kept in proximity of magentic devices at anytime (ie. television sets, stereo speakers, bulk tape erasers, radio transmitters, etc.).
  • Do not affix stickers, pins or any other alterations or modifications to your OneCard ID.
  • Cards should never be placed back to back with magnetic strips touching.
  • Damaged cards are a result of negligence or improper care (ie. putting the card through the dryer, using the card to scrape the windshield, etc.).
  • It is your responsibility to protect your OneCard ID at all times. If your OneCard is lost or stolen, you must report it immediately to the IT Department Help Desk at 464-5678 or VUPD at 464-5430. In the event that the loss is not reported to the appropriate officals, Valparaiso University will not be responsible for any losses incurred during that time.
