ID Cards: Campus Card Services
Overview
The Campus Card (variously known as the Stanford ID Card, University ID, or Student ID) serves as: an identification card; an electronic key card controlling access to residence and dining halls, libraries, recreational facilities, and staff office buildings; and a debit card which can be used to purchase goods and services at select locations on campus. See Applications and Services for more information.
Courtesy Cards are issued to certain university affiliates, including spouses/domestic partners of eligible employees. See the Courtesy Cards web page for more information.
Available to
Stanford policies govern the issuance of ID cards. These policies are contained in Administrative Guide Memo 28.4, Stanford Identification Cards.
In certain circumstances individuals who are not Stanford employees; Stanford students enrolled in a degree-granting program; Stanford fellows accepted in an official University fellowship program; or qualifying visiting scholars may not be issued an ID card and may have limitations on certain campus privileges. A chart that summarizes the current policy is available.
Features
- Cardinal Dollars (prepaid dining dollars used only at Residential & Dining Enterprises (R&DE) dining locations, and some retail locations). Cardinal Dollars can be purchased online by students (and their parents), faculty, and staff.
- The StanfordCardPlan allows students to pay for goods and services on campus, including the Stanford Bookstores and other retail locations. The StanfordCardPlan for faculty and staff is a copy- and print-only debit plan.

The Campus Card System is a closed, proprietary system that runs on its own hardware and software. To learn more, see Maintenance and protection of Campus Card system electronic records on the Security and Confidentiality web page.
How to use
The Stanford ID Card serves a variety of functions. It can be your access key, your library or health card, and your residence Dining Card. If you participate in the StanfordCardPlan, you can use your card in printers, vending machines, and in a number of campus cafes and other retail locations, like the Stanford Bookstore and Tresidder Student Union.
Support
If your card has been damaged, bring it to the Campus Card Office. If your card has been lost or stolen, report its loss immediately so it can be suspended for all on-campus use. Lost cards can be reported via HelpSU.
To get a replacement card, go to the Campus Card Office at Tresidder Union (students) or Forsythe Hall Room 135 (students, faculty, staff). Card Office staff can replace your card on the spot, using the same or a new photo. The replacement fee is $20.
If you are having a problem with your ID card (e.g., the card doesn't provide access to your office, or, you can't access the funds in your StanfordCardPlan account to buy lunch), report the problem via HelpSU. Students can also visit the Campus Card Office on the second floor of Tresidder Memorial Union.
Rates
In most cases, your initial ID card is issued free-of-charge.
