Bronco Card

In-Person

Please stop by the Bronco Card Office, located at the Information Desk in the Student Union Building on the first floor, if you would like to have a member of our team take your photo for your Bronco Card. Please bring another form of Government-Issued Photo ID to verify your identity.

• Once we have verified your identity, we will take your photo and print your card.
• This process only takes a few minutes; however, wait times could vary depending on the time of year.
  • You can book an appointment with us to take your Bronco Card photo!

Picture Requirements

Government-Issued Identification Guidelines

A photo of your Government-Issued Photo Identification (such as driver’s license, passport, or other government-issued photo ID) is required for your Bronco Card photo to be reviewed.

*ID will be automatically deleted upon photo approval.

Photo Submission Guidelines

Photo should adhere to government-issued ID requirements.

• Full face and shoulders only, no side profile or angled view pictures
• The cardholder’s expression should be natural/smiling, with both eyes open
• No hats, caps, sunglasses, scarves, or masks
• No animals, children, props, or gestures
• A muted background against a wall with no apparent objects in the background

Replacement Photo

If you already have a Bronco Card on file and submit a new photo, this will automatically replace your existing photo.

If you want a new card printed with your new photo, please visit us at the Bronco Card Office. Printing a new Bronco Card will deactivate your old Bronco Card (including door access). Additionally, a $30 replacement fee will be due. This can be paid in person via card or billed to your student account.
