A University-issued identification card (Cougar Card) is required for all students taking credit courses. Cougar Cards are issued at The Hub [Cougar Card Office] in L-131. The Cougar Card is an official University identification card and should be carried at all times. Students are required to present this card to any official or authorized representative of the University on request. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action. The Cougar Card is non-transferable. In addition, the possession, production or distribution of any false or altered ID cards will result in disciplinary action.
Cougar Cards are used to gain entry to campus events, make purchases on or around campus, gain appropriate access to buildings and technology labs, borrow materials from the University Library, and use the Shannon Center and copiers.
A Cougar Card may have monetary value if connected to a meal plan or Cougar Cash. Funds balance can be accessed through Cougar Card GET Funds.
Students who have lost their Cougar Cards should put in a Hub request to receive a replacement and call Public Safety at 773-298-4400 to have the lost card disabled; the replacement fee is $10.
Hats or other head coverings, except those for religious purposes, may not be worn in the Cougar Card photo.
