CRIME PREVENTION TIP UT identification cards are far more than just an “identification card.” They can possess access abilities to buildings or rooms within buildings. They can also serve as a debit card. To that end, if your card is lost or stolen, you should deactivate the card as soon as possible. This can be done on-line in just a few seconds. If you discover your UT ID card has been lost or stolen, immediately log onto http://www.utexas.edu/its/help/idcenter/1699 to deactivate your card.
