What do I do if I lose my card?
Because of the privileges associated with your DePauw ID card, it is imperative that you report a lost card immediately by calling the HelpDesk at (765) 658-4294. If you lose your ID card after 5 p.m. or on weekends, you may obtain a temporary door access card from the DePauw Police Department at which time your card will be flagged as “Lost”. This will prevent unauthorized charges to your account. You can also report your ID card lost online by logging in at GET.
