7) Issue Date
U Cards have issue dates, the date the U Card was issued to the cardholder, and not expiration dates. Your U Card itself never expires because it may have banking, calling, Gopher GOLD or other services associated with it. For this reason, never turn in your U Card at termination of employment or class or use as collateral. Individual service providers (e.g., the library, UDS, etc) determine when you can no longer use your U Card for their services.

A picture is taken of each cardholder and printed on the front of the U Card for identification purposes. It is electronically stored and can be used in other cases only with the cardholder's express written consent.

9) Magnetic Stripe
The U Card's top magnetic stripe can be swiped to access your online Gopher GOLD™ account and other electronically stored information in order to verify cardholder information, door access, ATM access. It has a high coercivity and should be kept away from magnets and other card's magnetic stripes as it could demagnetize them. The higher coercivity means that it is difficult to demagnetize the U Card's magnetic stripe, however, machines using magnetic fields such as MRIs or CTs could damage the U Card's top stripe.
