All students, faculty, and staff are issued a University of New Haven Campus Card. The card includes the following features: picture ID, 16 digit ISO number, proximity chip, access to online and in-house University library services, and optional paid access to dining, vending, and third party vendor services.
All students are required to have a current Campus Card and must keep the card with them when on campus to identify themselves as a member of the University community. Some events may require ID to be displayed to gain entry. Once issued, the card is valid for 4 years or until you leave the University. Upon leaving the University, the card must be returned.
First Year and transfer students are photographed for their Campus Card during SOAR (Student Orientation and Registration). Students are now being offered the opportunity to submit their initial photo online, provided it meets specific requirements. Cards are issued at the beginning of the Fall semester for those students. Other incoming undergraduate and graduate students, as well as faculty and staff, are issued throughout the year as needed.
