Welcome to the Colonel Card Office
Your Colonel Card serves as your official EKU identification and is used for services on campus like meal plans (meal swipes and flex dollars), building access, athletic and campus events, class attendance, Colonel Cash, and as a library card. All university community members should always keep their card with them while on campus.

Care of Card
- Clean with damp cloth as needed. If your ID gets wet, simply wipe the card with a dry cloth. Do not apply heat to the card, as it can cause it to become misshapen or damaged.
- Avoid any activities that could result in the card bending or breaking. ID cards placed in the bottom of book bags tend to suffer when books are dropped in on top of them.
- Avoid contact with magnetic forces as exposure can damage the magnetic strip of your ID. Avoid placing your ID on stereo equipment, microwaves, and cell phones.
Lost, Stolen, and Damaged Cards
If your Colonel Card is lost or stolen, report it immediately to the Colonel Card Office. A temporary hold can be placed on your card to prevent any unauthorized use; however, any transactions made with a lost card cannot be refunded. Visit the Colonel Card Office to receive a replacement the same day. Please note that replacement cards will result in a $25 fee charged to your student account.
Temporary Meal Passes
For students who know they have their card and just cannot put their hands on it, temporary meal passes can be provided once per semester for a full day of meals. Temporary meal passes may only be used in Case Kitchen by students who have an all-access meal plan (5-Day All-Access, 7-Day All-Access, etc.). Temporary passes cannot be issued for the use of flex dollars.
