What should I do if my OneCard stops working, is lost, or stolen?

Contact the OneCard office immediately if your card is lost or stolen and we will deactivate it.
Sign out a temporary card for residential use by going to the housing operations office (HOO) at in the Merrill Student Life Center, 413.559.5453 during business hours (8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.) After business hours, go to the campus safety and security office on the ground floor of the Johnson Library. If the office door is closed, call 413.559.5424 to ask an officer to meet you there. Be sure to contact the OneCard office to get a new ID, and return your temporary card on the next business day.
You need to bring an alternate form of picture ID to the dining commons when you have a temporary card so they can verify you are an active student. You will not be allowed to enter the dining commons with just a temporary card.
