For students, faculty, and staff who have not had the opportunity to get a chip-embedded University ID card, now is a great time to do so. Chip ID cards can be used for access to tap-style card readers currently being installed. If you have a hole punched in your University ID card now, it is the old-style card; new chip-embedded cards cannot have holes and come with a friction gripper. There is no charge for the upgrade.
Visit one of the University ID Offices to get your upgraded ID card:
Public Safety Headquarters ID Office: Open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Call (585) 275-3437 for more information.
