Each student must carry the Shield card while on campus, and present it when requesting services from any office. ID photographs comply with the standard for decorum and dress.
To obtain a Shield Card, male students must wear a collared shirt–no caps, t-shirts or facial jewelry. Spouses and dependents may obtain cards after entering the necessary data into the Shield ID family registration form.
Students are able to add money to their shield card (which is usable on the copiers and at Fifth and Broadway) three different ways: at the library, online, and at Fifth and Broadway. The options at the library and online are instantaneous. The option at Fifth and Broadway may take up to six hours.
For replacement cards or inquiries, contact The Shield office, (502) 897-4311.

Is The New York Times trying to tell us something? Just eleven days after running a story on gender-bending teenagers on the front page of its “Style” section, the paper is back with yet another front page story in the same section, this time on gender-bending young adults.
