If you have not yet picked up your new Bearcat card, you can do so on December 1st at UC East from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m. in the main lobby, or within UC Clermont’s student lounge on December 2ndbetween the same times. If your schedule won’t accommodate either of these dates, you can pick up your card another day at Clermont’s public safety offices, but only during designated hours.
Existing photographs will be transferred to the new Bearcat cards; new photographs will not be necessary. Picking up your new ID card is simple; the only prerequisite is that you bring either your current Bearcat card or a government-issued ID along for additional security.
It is currently twenty dollars to replace your new Bearcat card if it is lost or becomes damaged. However, the price will increase to thirty-five dollars per replacement beginning February 1, 2016. It is important that the new Bearcat cards are not hole-punched or bent lest the contactless technology that will enable easier transactions become disabled. If damage occurs, replacement will be necessary.
Once you have picked up your new Bearcat card, you must wait up to forty-eight hours for it to activate and to ensure that it works properly. If you encounter any problems with your new card, you can submit a “Trouble Report” that can be found on the University of Cincinnati’s website.
