When do teens lie to their parents (and when do they tell the truth)?

  • Details on upgrading to a chip-embedded University ID card

TODAY'S UPDATES

Upgrade to a chip-embedded University ID

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.
  • Susan B. Anthony Hall ID Office, Room 114A: Open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Call (585) 275-3975 for more information.
  • Medical Center ID Office, Room G-7009: Open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Call (585) 273-2000 for more information.
