Our office has partnered with many graduate departments to coordinate ID card distribution for sumer/fall 2021. 

Graduate students - please first contact your graduate coordinator (or review any communication that they send) to find out if your department is one that has partnered with our office. If so, your department will pick-up all ID cards from our office and then distribute them to students. In this scenario, you do not need to request your ID card from our office. 

If your department has chosen not to partner with our office, then you can request an appointment to pick-up your ID card by following the steps below. 

1.) Submit a case via the Services and Support Portal 
2.) Campus Cards staff will provide you with more information and instructions for scheduling an appointment at our office. 

Note: Visiting graduate or post-doctoral students may qualify for an Affiliate ID Card.

School of Medicine and Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences students receive an official student One Card from our office. Please follow these important steps below.

• These photos will be sent to the Campus Cards Office for processing 
• The Campus Cards Office will generate and print ID cards for all students, and then distribute them directly to your program's coordinator within two business days of receiving the photos
• Your program coordinator will then arrange to distribute the ID cards to each student
• Please do not visit our office, as we will not be able to issue you an ID card

Students who are only attending summer session at UCSD should first find out from their program coordinator how they will receive their ID cards (i.e. from the Campus Cards Office or from their coordinator). 

The Campus Cards Office now prints ID cards for UCSD Extension students! However, Extension students will not receive their ID card directly from the Campus Cards Office. As a result, please do not visit our office to request an ID card.

Instead, Extension students will receive their ID card from an Extension coordinator. For more questions about how/when you will receive your first Extension student ID card, or if you need to replace an Extension student ID card, please contact an Extension coordinator directly.
