The YU-card is your VIP pass to campus life. Take good care of it, but know we’ve got your back. In the event that you lose your YU-card, freeze your account immediately to protect your funds. You are responsible for all card activity until the account is frozen, so be sure to act quickly.
Deactivate a Lost or Stolen card
- Deactivate your YU-card online at any time using eAccounts
- Notify the YU-card Office at yucard@yorku.ca or call (416) 736-5674 during business hours
- If your card is authorized for secure door access please notify doorcard@yorku.ca.
Be sure to double and triple check for your YU-card before getting it replaced. Replacement fees are non refundable and old cards are retired permanently once they are replaced.
Replacement
Submit a YU-card Application to replace a lost or damaged YU-card. Once your application has been conditionally approved, please visit the YU-card Office to obtain a replacement card.

- If you currently have a mobile YU-card but lost your phone, there is no charge to reactivate (either on a new device or if you eventually find your lost device). For more information on reactivating your mobile credentials, visit the "Securing Your Account" section under our FAQs.
