All students receive their first UCSD ID Card for FREE.
Incoming students must submit their ID photo via the online Photo Tool, as students will be unable to take photos at our office. Submitting your photo is critical, as professors and other campus staff use these photos for identification, exams, and additional academic purposes.
Students are only allowed to have one UCSD ID card at any time to prevent fraudulent activity. In order to replace any card students must surrender their current ID card to UCSD Campus Card personnel. The Campus Cards Office cannot reactivate old ID cards.
Please bring a second form of physical identification (driver's license or Passport) with you to the Campus Card office. Without one, you will not be able to receive an ID card. The Campus Cards Office does not accept photocopies or pictures of identification.

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.

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.
