OneCard reissue puts new face on campus I.D.

Are the edges of your OneCard beginning to fray? Is the lettering wearing away from overuse? Whether or not your OneCard—the official campus photo identification card—is showing signs of aging, all University faculty, staff and students will be issued new OneCards beginning Thursday, Oct. 25.

Faculty and staff will be able to collect their new OneCards from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., beginning Thursday, Oct. 25 and continuing through Friday, Nov. 9 in the old Hornet Bookstore. Extended hours are available on select days: complete schedule. Faculty and staff should bring their current OneCard or another form of photo identification in order to receive a new OneCard.

Students will have designated times to pick up their OneCards according to the first letter of their last name:

Students may also pick up their OneCard, regardless of their last name, on Saturday, Nov. 10 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

All old Sacramento State OneCards will be deactivated on Nov. 12.

The new OneCards are safer, more secure cards. The increased security process began in 2005, when, at the time, each individual’s Social Security number was encoded on the magnetic stripe of the card. Cardholders were issued new cards with temporary 15-digit identification numbers in place of the Social Security numbers. The new cards will be encoded with each individual’s permanent campus identification number through PeopleSoft and My Sac State.

Faculty and staff will also have the option to be linked to a Wells Fargo checking account through Wells Fargo Membership Banking and a Premium Membership checking package, with service offers such as waived checking monthly service fees and free access to Wells Fargo with free online bill pay. Students are eligible for a free Wells Fargo College Checking. Both options will allow students, faculty and staff to access ATM’s and make PIN-based purchases on and off campus with the OneCard, which will function as a debit (rather than a credit) card.

The OneCard, in addition to serving as a campus identification card, also serves as a library card, a stored value card for Capital Cash debit accounts, an access card for campus sports and social events, a public transit card (with current commute sticker), computer lab print card, discount photocopy card and a door and gate access card.
