The NYUCard is required for all NYU faculty, staff, and students. It enables cardholders to access NYU’s three campuses and twelve academic centers within the New York University Global Education System (GNU), and provides access to essential services including dining, printing, billing, library resources, and campus transportation.
The NYUCard must be carried at all times while on campus. As the card remains the property of the University, individuals who separate from NYU for any reason are required to return their card to the Campus Safety Office (Room S103) prior to departure to avoid the assessment of any future fees.

Replace a Lost, Damaged, or Expired Card
If your NYUCard is lost or suspected to be stolen, please report it to Campus Safety as soon as possible by one of the following methods: completing a replacement application through the NYU Shanghai WeChat Enterprise Account, submitting the online form, or visiting the Service Center in Room S103 at the New Bund Campus.
A card replacement fee of RMB 150 will be charged if the original card cannot be presented at the time of application. Payment may be made online via WeChat Pay or Alipay, or in person at the Bursar Office. No fee will be charged if the original NYUCard is returned due to damage or expiration.
Once payment is confirmed, Campus Safety will issue a replacement card within two working days. An email notification will be sent when the card is ready for pickup.
