About Ohio University ID Cards

Your Ohio University ID card is used to verify your status as a student, faculty or staff member in good standing. Student IDs are validated by registration. Staff IDs are validated based on Human Resources records. Services that require a valid ID Card include:

  • Alden Library materials check-out
  • Ping Center, Aquatic Center, and Bird Arena memberships
  • Bobcat Cash at vending machines and campus convenience stores
  • Sporting Events, student section
  • Student Meal Plans
  • Building access in some locations
  • Faculty/Staff e-mail activation and password resets
Cards issued after June 18 will include your name and photo, your university status and a 9 digit P number on the front. The rear of your ID includes a magnetic stripe for use in campus readers and a 16 digit ISO number.

Protect your ID card the same way you would a credit card!
