A: The Card Office is using a phased approach to rolling out the 49er Mobile ID program. Each year, incoming students will be encouraged to adopt 49er Mobile ID instead of having a physical ID card printed.
Students, faculty and staff who have a physical ID card will not be required to adopt 49er Mobile ID and may continue using their physical ID cards until their ID card expires or requires renewal.
A: No, if you do not have an NFC-enabled device, or you are unable to download the Transact eAccounts app, you may visit the 49er ID Card Office in the Popp Martin Student Union to have a physical 49er Card printed. Please bring an official government-issued identification card like a driver’s license, when you visit the office. If you receive a physical ID card, you will no longer be eligible for the 49er Mobile ID program.
You will see a page called “Deactivate Card” with a drop-down menu.
Your 16-digit ISO number is under “phone” and begins after the string of zeros.
Do not hit the deactivate button.
Use of card images
The University may use the cardholder’s image for internal identification purposes, including for the generation of photo-based class rosters. Please see 49er Card Terms and Conditions for more information.
