How do I get my UB Card information if I am a distance or online learner?
Can I get a new picture on my UB Card?
You must go to the UB Card Office with your original card to have a new picture taken. There is a fee. You can get more information and current fees at the Get My UB Card page and the Fees & Policies page.
Can I borrow or lend someone my UB Card?
No. Your UB Card should be used by you exclusively. If someone other than yourself tries to use your card it will be confiscated. This is an important security measure.
What do I do if my UB Card breaks?
Your UB Card is flexible and tough, but sometimes they do break. If your card is getting worn you can bring it to the card office and they may choose to replace it for free as long as they believe the wear to be from normal use. Altered cards will not be replaced for free, do not put holes in or alter your card in any way. The Card Office sells convenient cardholders if you wish to have your card on your key chain. In any case, it is important that you bring your card, or pieces of your card, to the card office. Without your original card you will be charged the lost card fee.
Can I punch a hole in my UB Card?
No. This will weaken the card and cause it crack or break. If this happens there will be a charge to replace the broken card. The UB Card office and UB Campus Tees have card holders with key chains and lanyards attached.
