Campus Updates ID Cards with “One Card”

UC San Diego is pleased to announce One Card, a campus-wide initiative to update and improve ID cards for students, staff, faculty, and affiliates.

Featuring a refreshed look, the new cards will include Near-Field Communication (NFC) and 4k chip technology to make them compatible with modern readers to be installed in new campus buildings that are currently under construction. The cards will retain the magnetic strip and barcode from legacy cards to ensure that they are still compatible with all existing card readers. The initiative is also designed to streamline the processes associated with management of UC San Diego ID cards.

The first to receive the new cards are incoming students this fall. Current students who need replacement cards will also receive the new card. Staff, faculty, and others will begin receiving the new card in 2019. During implementation, old ID cards will remain in use and valid.
