Can I reinstate an older UCard I have from a previous replacement?
Unfortunately no. When the UCard Office issues a replacement UCard for a lost/stolen card, the 16-digit run number associated with your UCard is changed. The previous 16-digit number is wiped from the system and will not ever be reinstated. When you receive your replacement UCard, you will be advised to destroy your old card should you find it again. You should do this because you may become confused as to which UCard is actually the working one. As all UCards are technically University property, you are only permitted to have one UCard at any given time. Previously replaced UCards that are turned in to, or presented to, the UCard Office will be collected and shredded.
