Photo ID Information

LIU Card - Your Key To LIU Post

Every student at LIU Post is issued a Long Island University photo ID card (the LIU Card). The LIU Card serves many functions. It is used for purchasing food in the dining areas. At the Bursar or through machines located in the Winnick Student Center and Hillwood Commons, you can add money to your LIU Card for food purchases. Any food purchased with the LIU card is tax-free for students.

In addition, your LIU Card serves as your library card. To use any of the library facilities, including the bookstacks and computer labs, you will need to present your card; you will also need it to take out books from the library.

If you live on Campus, your LIU Card also serves as the key to the main entry of your residence hall. If you are visiting a resident student you will need your card to be granted access from the front desk. Most of all, your LIU Card serves as your official identification as a student of the LIU Post Campus. You are required to show it whenever asked by any member of the LIU Post Campus community.

LIU Cards are not exchangeable! This means that your friends and relatives cannot use the card to make purchases, take out books, or get into buildings. If someone else uses your card and is caught, the card will be confiscated immediately. Be careful - replacement of a confiscated card costs $10, and after the second confiscation it will not be returned.

To obtain your LIU Card, go to Public Safety located in the Facilities Services building at the northeast corner of the Campus. If you lose your LIU Card, you must act immediately! Residents: Call Residence Life at extension 2326 and Public Safety at extension 2222. They will cancel your card, stop the use of it, and reassign the funds left on your meal plan. (If you do not notify Residence Life, your card could be used by someone else to get into your building, buy food, or take books out of the library.) Non-residents: Call Public Safety at extension 2222. Then, go to Public Safety for a replacement card. There is a $10 fee for a new card; you have the option to pay at the Bursar or have Public Safety bill your account for a replacement card. If you decide to pay at the Bursar’s bring your receipt to Public Safety to receive a replacement card.
