Students
A Lancer Card (Longwood ID card) is required for all Longwood students and should be carried at all times while on campus. The card, which identifies you as a currently registered student, also entitles you to various other privileges and potential uses on and off-campus.
Use your Lancer Card as:

- Access to your residence hall
- Access to your meal plan
- Access to your Lancer CA$H Account
- Access to computer labs
- FREE admittance to home athletic events

Lancer Card Requirements
In order to receive a Longwood student ID card you must be a currently registered student and show a government-issued picture ID (driver's license, military ID, passport).
Fees
Your initial Lancer Card is printed free of charge. Cards that are lost, stolen, cracked, stop working or damaged can be replaced for $20.00.
Only the latest card printed is valid, there are no exceptions.
Replacement of a card when there is a change in the cardholder status or name is $10; however, the old card must be presented in exchange.
