Do I still need my physical MyLIU Card?
We recommend you retain your physical MyLIU Card in a secure location as a back-up should you lose a device.
Can I still use my physical ID once I have created my Mobile ID?
Yes, your physical MyLIU Card will continue to function after you have added your MyLIU Card Mobile ID to your device. Remember, the Mobile ID is a privilege and benefit of being part of the Long Island University community. Anyone found to be misusing their physical card or Mobile ID will be subject to the applicable Code of Conduct or HR policies regarding fraud and/or misconduct.

When using Express Mode (iPhone 6s or later), your MyLIU Card will not be displayed with other cards in Apple Wallet for security reasons.
Can I use Mobile ID if my phone’s battery is dead?
If you have any of the iPhone XS, XS Max or XR models, yes. Express Mode with power reserve is available for up to five hours when your phone needs to be charged.

How do I update information on my e-account?
Name information on the LIUmobileID comes to us from the university’s core business systems and needs to be updated there. Students should contact the Registrar’s Office. Faculty and staff should contact their HR representative to request updates. Once changes are completed, the updates will sync to the LIUmobileID on your phone within 48 hours.
Why are my account balance(s) not displaying?
Account balances are currently only displayed on Apple devices.
If your account balances are $0, they will not display until funds are added.
If you have available funds that are not displaying, please contact the Office at 718-488-3300 (Brooklyn) / 516-299-3300 (Post) or email it@liu.edu.
My balance is different on my device than in eAccounts?
Confirm your device is not in Airplane Mode or experiencing any other service interruption. Updates cannot be made when there is no connecting service to sync data between eAccounts and your device. The eAccounts app will display the most current information.
Why do I have a negative balance on my MyLIU Card ?
A negative balance can occur if you make a transaction when a retail device is offline. When the device comes back online and the transaction is posted, you will see a negative balance if there are not enough funds in your account to cover the transaction.
I am graduating or leaving the University. What happens to my Mobile ID?
As with your physical MyLIU Card, your LIUmobileID will become inactive when you no longer meet eligibility requirements. If you transfer to another participating program or department at Long Island University, your credential will stay active and update accordingly.
