To apply for an OSU Cascades ID card, you must present proper identification (Valid Driver's License, State ID card, Military ID, Passport, or Permanent Resident Card) and have your photo taken at the Mail & ID Center. Please do not wear a hat, sunglasses, or any other item/clothing that obscures your face. If you are a new OSU-Cascades employee, you will be directed to come to the Mail & ID Center on your first day and have your photo taken for your ID card.
The ID card officially identifies the cardholder as an OSU-Cascades student, employee, authorized contractor or associate. The ID card may also be used to:

The first ID card is free of charge. The fee for a replacement card is $25. Requests for a replacement ID card can be made at the Mail & ID Center. ID cards that are determined to have malfunctioned due to a manufacturing flaw or age will be replaced free of charge. ID cards should last for approximately four years without the need for replacement.
Please do not punch holes in your ID card or otherwise damage the magnetic strip or barcode. Punching holes in the card will likely cause damage to the electronic circuitry contained within.
Lost or stolen ID cards should be immediately reported to the OSU-Cascades Public Safety to protect your card account from unauthorized use. Any use of funds before an ID card is reported lost/stolen will be the responsibility of the cardholder.
If you find an ID card that is not yours, please turn it in to Public Safety.
