RE-CARDING EVENTS

Photos submitted by current cardholders will be used in re-carding events hosted at each campus. Details for each event can be found below.

The University-wide re-carding marks the first time issuing new id+ card since 2004.

With the id+ card serving as the official identification card of the University, updated photos are being requested to accurately reflect the cardholder.

Older versions of the id+ card will need to be presented at the designated re-carding event. A replacement card fee will be charged if not presented at the time of pickup. Additionally, a secondary form of identification may be required during the re-carding event.
