Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I get my WolfCard? How much does it cost?

You can get your WolfCard ID at the ID Center in the JOE (Joe Crowley Student Union) There is a charge of $7 for your first ID card and $11 for replacement or damaged IDs. 

The cost of your ID is included in the Orientatin fee so if you paid that you do not have to pay again.

Will the WolfCard replace Venda Card in the Library for printing and copies?

The WolfCard and WolfBucks have replaced Venda Card in the campus libraries. If you have Venda Card dollars check with the Getchell Circualtion Desk on what to do.

I have a Wolfpass for buss transportation. Is this the same card?

The WolfCard and Wolfpass are two different cards. You will need to keep your Wolfpass to ride on the bus.

What is a Prox (Proximity) card and when can I pick it up?

The Prox card is actually a key or building door access card. The ID Office is working with Campus Police on re-carding building staff from the old white key card to the new combination WolfCard/Prox card. Campus Police will notify the departments when we are ready to schedule re-carding for a building. Staff in that building requiring a prox card will need to bring a new, approved security form to the ID Office in the Joe Crowley Student Union to obtain the card. The security form will then go to Police so the new card can be activated and the old card de-activated in the system.

Did you report a lost card found to campus police?

Ask your supervisor or department head if your status has changed.
