A picture identification card (ID) will be made for all students free of charge. A $10.00 fee will be charged for replacing lost ID's. The card should be retained over all semesters that the student is enrolled at LMU-CDM. All registered students must carry their ID and surrender their ID card if asked by a staff member of the institution (including Resident Assistants, Resident Directors, and Security). All valid IDs are used for identification, to check out library books, to obtain admission to most campus activities, entrance into LMU-CDM facilities, and are useful as a form of identification in the surrounding community as well. It is the student's responsibility to have the ID validated each semester with the Office of Admissions and Student Services. A possible fine of $25.00 will be assessed to any student not in possession of his/her LMU-CDM student I.D. upon request by LMU personnel.
All LMU-CDM students must have their University ID badge visibly above the waist when on campus or in any LMU facility.
Any student on campus after-hours or on weekends requesting facility access must have an LMU ID badge to verify identity. Campus Police & Security will need to see your LMU ID badge before you gain access to the facility. If you have forgotten your LMU ID badge you may be asked to show a picture ID, such as a driver’s license. If you can’t provide an LMU ID Badge or valid Driver’s License/State approved ID, access may be denied.
