The SpartanCard is a formatted card and tearing or punching holes in the card will damage it and prevent it from working properly. The replacement fee for a damaged card is $25. Keep your card away from all magnetic fields such as other magnets, bank/ATM cards and cell phones. These can cause your card to become demagnetized, making it unable to function.

The first SpartanCard is issued at no cost to you; however,  every replacement card after that has a replacement fee currently $25 (fee subject to change). Replacement fees are payable to the Cashier's office. If there is enough funds on the SpartanCard SpartanBucks account it can be used to purchase a new card in the SpartanCard Office.

If the card is purchased at the Cashier's office the receipt must be brought to the SpartanCard Office to receive the new ID, OR if the patron has enough SpartanBucks on the  card to cover the charge, then $25 can be deducted from the patron's card in the SpartanCard Office.

For security purposes, patrons are only allowed to possess one SpartanCard. The first SpartanCard received is to be your SpartanCard for the duration of your enrollment at Norfolk State University.

Patrons must contact the Office of Residential Life / Housing regarding all residential meal plan changes.

Patrons receiving a Financial Aid refund may complete a SpartanCard Authorization form, which allows Financial Aid to be placed on the card for purchases. The SpartanCard Office cannot transfer financial aid to the SpartanCard.
