Lion Card and Lion Cash accounts continued


Secure your Lion Card
There is only one valid card per customer account. Possession or use of a Lion Card by anyone other than the owner is a direct violation of University policy.

Act responsibly and exercise good judgment, know where your card is at all times.

Cardholder Agreements
Lion Cards are intended to be used the entire time an individual is associated with Texas A&M University-Commerce. It is not necessary to obtain a new card each semester or academic year. In order to receive a new Lion Card, an individual must present a valid form of photo identification (driver’s license, passport, or government issued ID) at the time of application. The card must be carried at all times while on campus and must be presented to University officials upon request. The card is non-transferable. Account balances are non-transferable. The cardholder is responsible for his or her own card. Funds are deposited at the cardholder’s discretion. There is a $20 fee for return checks. Once the account is activated by making a deposit, any balance on the account will carry over semester to semester, or year to year, as long as the individual remains enrolled at or employed by Texas A&M University-Commerce.

Liability for Illegitimate Use of Accounts
If a Lion Card is lost or stolen, the cardholder is liable for all transactions until the card is reported lost or stolen to the Lion Card Office (during normal business hours), University Police (24 hours a day), or by emailing lioncard@tamuc.edu. Once reported lost or stolen, staff will place a freeze on the active card and associated account. Only staff of the Lion Card Office can place and release holds on accounts that are reported lost or stolen. Please note: System security will not allow staff to reactivate retired cards; therefore, an individual can hold only one valid Lion Card at anytime, the last card printed.

Student Cards
Lion cards are available to all students currently enrolled at A&M-Commerce. All students must provide a photo ID or driver's license to verify identification before an A&M-Commerce ID card can be produced. The card provides students with a photo identification card that has many different benefits. Lion cards can be used in coordination with a student's meal plans, door access. Cards also allow students access to the Morris Recreation Center and are required for students to maintain Velma K. Waters Library privileges.

Faculty/Staff Cards
Lion cards are provided for all faculty and staff members that are currently employed or retired from A&M-Commerce for identification. Faculty and staff members may use their Lion Cards to gain access to the Morris Recreational Center in coordination with a paid membership. In addition, A&M-Commerce Lion Cards allow all faculty and staff members to take advantage of many different resources offered by Velma K. Waters Library including public copiers and print labs.
