You swipe your card and it doesn't work

You observe incorrect or fraudulent use
A University unit may ask to see IDs for services. Units may hold or confiscate any University ID they believe is stolen, being misused, expired, or invalid. Under those circumstances, send the confiscated card to your campus ID Center and refer the cardholder to them.
