How to get your WolfCard

Photos are now being accepted for Summer Orientation 2023. Underclassmen only. All others, please come to the Joe Crowley Student Union card office to obtain your card. 

New, undergraduate students can visit the Wolf Card office to get a new Wolf Card.

Graduate students need to come to the WolfCard office in-person to have a photo taken and pay for their card.

If you are an undergraduate student living in Reno, Sparks or the surrounding area, you can visit the WolfCard Office over the summer to get your WolfCard and avoid the lines.
