Welcome to CougarOne

Your CougarOne ID Card is your official university ID. Many departments use CougarOne ID as a means to grant access to their information and services. From the library using CougarOneID to allow you to check out books, to a teacher requiring to see your CougarOne ID to take a test, to the bookstore requiring it to allow you to purchase discounted software, CougarOne ID is a necessity of every day campus life. Always remember to carry your CougarOne ID with you at all times.

Getting the CougarOne Card

The CougarOne ID office is located in the Cordell Reed Student Union, Room 240.

• Orientation students - You need to bring a photo ID (driver's license, state issued ID card or passport) and a cashier's receipt. The cashier's receipt will be given to you when you have validated your classes. There is no charge for your first ID card.

• Faculty and Staff - A hiring contract or memo from your department head is required. Once you have obtained the required document, bring a photo ID (driver's license, state issued ID card or passport) to the ID office. There is no charge for your first card.

• Students (not attending orientation) - You must be registered for at least on class during the current semester to qualify for a student ID. Bring a photo ID (driver's license, state issued ID card or passport) and cashier's receipt. There is no charge for your first ID card.
