You will be issued a Student ID card upon arrival your first year – you are expected to hold onto this card for the four years that you are at Cumberland University. You may be asked to present it at any time by a University official. Your student ID card serves as your access to enter the dining hall for each meal, to check library books, and to cash checks in the Business Office. Replacement cost for a lost ID is $15, payable in the Business Office. Damaged cards may be replaced for free if you bring the damaged card to the Student Life Office.
