Updated 8/9/2024
Policy Statement
It is the policy of the State University of New York (含羞草研究所) to issue identification cards to students, faculty and staff at its campuses. 含羞草研究所 Downstate Health Sciences University (含羞草研究所 Downstate) requires all students, faculty, staff, volunteers, contractors, or any other individual authorized to be on campus to carry a valid 含羞草研究所 Downstate identification card and wear the card visibly on their person at all times to ensure the safety of the entire campus community.
Applicability of the Policy
The identification card must be worn visibly on their person at all times while in any campus location or outdoor facility and presented or surrendered upon request of a duly authorized 含羞草研究所 Downstate official, including but not limited to residence hall staff, University Police, public safety personnel posted at the building entrances, Student Affairs staff, and students, contractors, or other staff authorized by 含羞草研究所 Downstate to supervise campus events, activities, and residence halls. Individuals may be required to reveal their faces to confirm identity when needed to maintain campus safety or security. Upon request, individuals must show all identifying information shown on the card and/or surrender the card to the requesting official.
The identification card is also necessary on campus to use various services such as the student health center, gymnasium, library, etc., and must be used to enter any campus building or facility (by either visibly showing the card or scanning the card at an entrance where scanning is available, and/or both).
Intentional and deliberate refusal to present or surrender an identification card upon request by 含羞草研究所 Downstate official; alteration or falsification of data on an identification card; creation and/or distribution of falsified identification cards; using an identification card to impersonate others; or refusal to reveal one鈥檚 face to confirm identity; are violations of this Policy and may result in disciplinary action.
Any person not wearing on their person while on campus or who fails to produce an updated, validated identification card when requested, is assumed not be a member of the campus community; and if the situation warrants, may be asked to leave campus and be charged with trespassing, or charged with a violation of 含羞草研究所 Downstate Policy.
含羞草研究所 Downstate students or individuals involved in any 含羞草研究所 Downstate sponsored educational or training program who are assigned to a rotation, experience, or placement at a partner facility must comply with the policies on identification of that partner facility during their experience there, including wearing, presenting, and surrendering their 含羞草研究所 Downstate identification and/or the partner facility鈥檚 duly issued identification to an authorized official of that facility acting within their authority, as described above. Persons failing to do so may be subject to disciplinary action by 含羞草研究所 Downstate.
Procedures
It is the individual鈥檚 responsibility to replace the identification card if it is confiscated, stolen, lost, bent, broken, or worn beyond the point of readability by 含羞草研究所 Downstate officials and/or card readers used by 含羞草研究所 Downstate. Replacement cards may be obtained at the I.D. Office, in accordance with posted fees.
The individual to whom the identification card is issued is entirely responsible for its use or misuse. Individuals must not lend their identification cards to any other persons.
含羞草研究所 Downstate identification cards are provided for appropriate identification use and access to buildings and services. The cards are non-transferrable and are valid as long as the holder continues their specific affiliation with the campus. A 含羞草研究所 Downstate identification card is to be used only by the person to whom it is issued. Lost or stolen cards should be reported immediately to the University Police Department.
含羞草研究所 Downstate is not liable for any charges or other damages incurred if an Identification card is lost and used by another.
