Your First OneCard
Step 1: Upload Your Photo
If you are a new student or a new member of the faculty or staff, please upload a picture of yourself using the “Submit a Photo” button below.
Submit your onecard photoAll submitted photos must be a close-up, color, face-forward picture (similar to a passport photo). The photo should not include hats, sunglasses, bandanas, inappropriate facial gestures, or hands near the face.
Step 2: Receive your OneCard

- New Undergraduate & Graduate Students: Provided you have uploaded a picture, your OneCard will be available upon your arrival to campus when you arrive for Orientation.
- New Faculty or Staff: After uploading your photo, you will receive an email within 3 business days with instructions for collecting your Card.
Replacing a OneCard
A replacement request must be submitted if your OneCard is lost. If you have updated your photo in CUWeb and want to receive a new card that displays the new photo, a replacement request must still be submitted. Once submitted, you can expect an email within one business day that will contain either pick up instructions or communication about next steps. Replacement OneCards are usually printed and available by 11am on the next business day.
Please note that a replacement fee may apply. To encourage students to acquire a replacement card, the normal replacement fee of $25 has been temporarily lowered to $10. The fee will return to $25 by the end of May 2025 at the latest.
Card malfunctioning? There are many reasons a OneCard may not be working properly. Bring it to the OneCard Office in room 107E of the Academic Commons in the Goddard Library building to have it inspected (hours: Mon to Fri, 8am to 5pm).

Your OneCard Number
Your OneCard number is your Clark University ID Number. It is used by administrative systems and departments as a unique way to identify you.
The easiest way to find your OneCard number is by looking at your OneCard!
Your OneCard number is the first eight numbers printed on the front of your OneCard. The last two numbers simply represent the issuance number for your card. This gets updated if your card is lost and replaced.
