A lost, stolen or damaged OU-HCOM Id must be reported immediately to the Office of Student Affairs for Year I and Year II students, and to the Office of Academic Affairs for Year III and Year IV students. If the ID is lost after business hours, contact the Ohio University Police Department at 740-593-1911 so that the badge can be deactivated. Arrangements must be made by the student for another Id to be processed. Privileges associated with this ID may be denied if arrangements to have a duplicate badge issued are not made promptly.

  7. Year III and Year IV students who are required to wear hospital ID cards at their CORE sites must also visibly wear their OU-HCOM Ids.
  8. Unauthorized possession, use or reproduction of an OU-HCOM ID may constitute theft or misappropriation of OU-HCOM property and will be grounds for disciplinary action up to and including termination of enrollment or prosecution by law.
