Overview

Campus affiliates can request official UCSD ID cards from the Campus Cards Office. 
 

Critical Concepts

• The current cost for a new ID card is $25.
• The Campus Cards Office requires a completed Campus Card Request Form any time we issue a first or replacement ID card. The only exception to this is when processing a One Card upgrade. For more information about the One Card upgrade, Please see our "One Card Upgrade" KBA. 
• ID card costs are subject to change.
• Department budget indexes are no longer used for campus transactions. Instead, department Chart of Accounts information must be provided on the request form. Specifically, we require a Project Number, Task Number, and if applicable, Funding Source Number. 
  
  • Project Numbers are usually 7 numbers in length
  • Task Numbers are usually 1-3 numbers in length
  • Funding Source Numbers are usually 7 numbers in length
    
    • Funding Source Numbers are different from a Fund Number, which is only a 5 digit number.
