Student Mizzou TigerCard
MU students receive their first Mizzou TigerCard at no charge. To obtain your first TigerCard, you must meet one of the following requirements:
Summer Welcome Attendees: Register for and attend a Summer Welcome session and obtain your TigerCard during our normal office hours during your Summer Welcome session. Our office hours are Mon.–Fri. 8 a.m.–4 p.m.
Summer Welcome Walk-Ins: Attend a Summer Welcome session without pre-registering and obtain your TigerCard between noon and 4 p.m. on day 1 or any time on day 2 of your Summer Welcome session. Our office hours are Mon.–Fri. 8 a.m.–4 p.m.
All other incoming students: If you meet the following criteria, you may obtain your TigerCard beginning May 16 for SS2012 or July 18 for FS2012.
- You are enrolled, with courses appearing in myZou.
- The "Student Activity Ugr" or "Student Activity Grad/Prof" must be billed, appearing under the "Finances" tab in myZou.
Be prepared to provide your student number and a U.S. government-issued photo ID card, such as a driver's license, military ID, passport, state ID, etc. Paper copies will not suffice. To ensure campus safety, it is against policy for us to issue cards unless you present one of these forms of identification. The ID Card Office is located in the basement of the University Bookstore, in the Student Center.
Using any ID card other than your own is fraud. Any ID card used by a non-owner will be confiscated immediately and offenders will be prosecuted.

Additional Information
New Card Problems
If you have obtained a new card or had your current card re-encoded, you won't be able to use it to open a residence hall exterior door or make bookstore purchases until the next morning. If your card stops working, call the ID Office at (573)882-1871 or submit a new TigerCard problem report form. We'll work with Residential Life to restore access privileges.
Lost or Damaged Card Replacement
Should your ID card become unusable or broken due to normal wear and tear, bring it to the ID Office and we'll replace it at no charge. "Normal wear and tear" is determined by ID Office staff. Protect that magstripe! Scratches will render it useless and the replacement card will cost $15.
If you lose your ID card, we'll replace it for $15. Because of the privileges associated with an MU ID, it is imperative that you report a lost card immediately by calling (573) 882-1871 (882-2050 after 5 p.m. or on weekends). To protect your student charge at the bookstore, call (573)884-2159. Reporting a lost card will prevent unauthorized charges to your account.
Card Stops Working
Contact the ID Office immediately.
Student Charge Availability
Student charge options are available to full-time students who are financially enrolled during the current semester.
Break in Attendance at MU
If you were previously enrolled, and received the black TigerCard (even if you left the University for a time), we can reactivate your old ID card, electronically, once you are re-enrolled in myZou.
