The BYU-Idaho I-Card is the official identification card for students, faculty, and administrators at BYU-Idaho. The I-Card is also a declining balance card (debit card) used at various locations across campus.

The I-Card allows you to:

Use of the I-Card

The I-Card is yours to use, but it remains the property of BYU-Idaho. The I-Card must be returned to the University upon request. Fraudulent use of any I-Card may result in disciplinary action. You are entitled to have only ONE I-Card in your possession.

University departments, personnel, or community businesses may not ask to retain your I-Card as collateral for goods or services. Report any such occurrences to the I-Card Office.

In order to minimize your losses, it is your responsibility to inform the I-Card Office if you believe your card has been lost or stolen.

You may use the I-Card to purchase school supplies at University Store. Charges will be applied to your Personal Account and can be paid online or at the Cashier's Office.
