ID Card Information
New for 2012/2013
The university has begun the transition to a new ID card for the campus community. In fact, cards for students entering in summer/fall 2012 were produced in the new format, as are now replacement cards for all groups. The goal is that all faculty and staff will obtain their new cards during by April 30, 2013.
This project is a partnership between ITS, the Cashier's Office, Human Resources, and Marketing and Communication. The primary reasons to change card designs are security-related. The new cards will provide additional security through:
- Use of specific materials that discourage duplication;
- Updated and larger photographs;
- A fresh new look that includes the new Baylor logo;
- Distinct designs for different groups (students, faculty/staff, spouses, auxiliaries).
What is the process to get the new ID card?
- A new photograph must be taken at the time the new card is printed. This is required to fit the format of the new card.
- The ID card production office in the Cashier's area of the first floor of Robinson Tower is open during normal business hours with the exception of Thursday mornings between 8:00 am and 9:00 am when it is closed for departmental meetings.
- A new spouse card will be provided to faculty and staff who are designated as "married" in the university human resources system. This setting can be seen and updated in BearWeb under Personal Information. Note that the new spouse card will include spouse name which the employee will provide at the time of card creation.
- The old (current) faculty/staff and spouse cards will be deactivated when the new cards are made and should be turned in at that time.
Several opportunities will be provided to have a new ID card made in campus locations other than Robinson Tower. These will be available on the following days between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm:
- Tuesday, January 29, McMullen-Connally Faculty Center
- Wednesday, January 30, McMullen-Connally Faculty Center
- Wednesday and Friday, April 17 and 19, McMullen-Connally Faculty Center
