Lost Student Card Sticker
What do I do if I lost my student card sticker? My dad threw it out with the mail, and I'm not very happy about it! I realize that its basically a bus pass, so am I going to have to pay to replace the sticker or what? Does anyone know where I have to go to do so? Thanks guys

I'd call the registrar. Its not just a bus pass if you dont have the current sticker, you cant get into the gym, cant write exam (if the people check) and other stuff.

to get a new one I think it costs $40 or $45

it's because it lets you go on the bus, gets you access to IWC, etc

My friend lost his student card once and he had to pay and the cost was really just for the sticker.

You can try explaining your situation to the registrar too. Maybe they will give you it for free (doubt it though)

It cost $30 for the card. So Im guessing the extra $10/15 was for the sticker. Which makes no sense since the sticker has no security features so it cost probably a couple cents to print.

The pass itself is worth a little under $100, but it'd doubtful that they Registrar would charge anything for a replacement sticker.

a sneaky way: say you never got it in the mail. Then its free. But I didn't tell you this.

I don't think replacement stickers cost anything...if you replace your card and your sticker in the process, then it's $30.

It's speculative though, so drop into the office of the registrar in Gilmour Hall, and tell them what happened.

You could always lie. :p

I lost my card once and it cost $30 for a replacement.

A few months ago I lost only the sticker and it was free. All I said was that I lost the sticker I got in the mail and it was no problem. You will need to bring your student card of course for I.D.
