Why do I need my Hawk Card to use my membership? <p>Membership access is applied to Hawk Cards only and members must swipe their Hawk Cards in order for staff to verify active membership status. Hawk Cards also prove individual identity, and fraudulent use of a Hawk Card is considered a violation of the UW-Whitewater Code of Conduct. There are currently no other ways for staff to verify membership. See the "Forgot ID" tab for more information if you do not have your Hawk Card and wish to use your membership.</p> Arrow
