If your have lost your phone or is it completely inoperable, and it is after-hours (when most offices are closed), you still have options to get you through til at least the Card Office is open during normal business hours. When our office is open, you may purchase a card with the tap/RFID chip that will function for door access, meal plans, etc. Please note, when your phone is repaired and you add the card back to your phone, the tap function of physical card will cease to work for door access, meal plans, etc.

Door Access - Residence Halls/Residential College/Houses

This card will solely be used for dorm door access.

• Contact the on duty staff to inquire about obtaining a termporary card from Housing. 
• Visit either the Hank Ingram or Branscomb 24-hour desks to obtain a temporary card from Housing.

Dining Options

• If you still have your physical card, even a magstripe only card, it can work so long as it is not demagnetized (test at a vending machine, no purchase necessary)
  • The dining halls and markets point-of-sale registers each have a magstripe reader and can swipe your card to use a meal. Most people do no use this method, but it exists and works.
  • Taste of Nashville merchants also have a magstripe reader on their point-of-sale terminals used for Vanderbilt ID cards. You may ask the restaurant to test it first to see if it works since this piece is rarely utilized.
• The Commons Dining Hall can register your face, and you do not have you use your card to access this dining hall anymore. Ask to speak with a supervisor to have this setup.

DUO
If you have an iPad or Android tablet with a working camera, you can register either on VUIT's site. The tablet will need to be connected to WIFI and you will need a computer to use to login to the link below.

Have you activated your card on your phone? If so your card is not active for use with door access and tapping at Dining locations (the magstripe still works at Taste of Nashville locations). You need to use your phone for these functions.

You can activate your physical card using the instructions below, but this will disable the card on your phone.

1. Open the GET app or website
2. Tap Settings
3. Tap Mark my Card as Found

If you do this, we recommend removing the card from your phone as well. If you lose your physical card, you will need to add the card to your phone again if you wish to use it in the future. If you leave it on your phone, it will not be activated again by marking your card as lost in the GET app.

The tap feature is disabled on your physical card when you active the card on your phone (Android or Apple). If you replaced your phone without removing the card from your phone, the system still sees the card as being tied to your old phone. If you would like to have the card on your phone again (and you cannot access your old phone), you can access your iCloud or Google account to remove the credential.

You can activate your physical card by...

1. Open the GET app or website
2. Tap Settings
3. Tap Mark my Card as Found

Remove your Apple/Android card by...

Your card is marked as lost in GET once you activate your card on your phone (Apple or Android). If you mark your card as found, your physical card will begin working, but the card on your phone will cease to work. Please remove the card from your phone, then add it back like you did the first time.
