Do I need to get a new Sooner OneCard each semester?
No. Your card is good indefinitely. In the case of a name change, number change, or status change (student to staff, resident to faculty), simply bring in the old card and a new card will be printed for you, with the new information on it, at no charge. 

What if I lose my Sooner OneCard?
To prevent the unauthorized use of your card you should notify the OneCard Office or Access Control as soon as possible. Your card can be inactivated which will prevent your card from being used.  Should you later find your card you will have to present it to the OneCard Office to have it reinstated.

What are the benefits of using the Sooner OneCard?
It is important that you carry your Sooner OneCard whenever you are on campus. 
You will need it to utilize a variety of services across campus, including the following:

  • University Health Club 
  • Robert M. Bird Library
  • University Village (residents only)

Of course you will need your card when you live in the University Village.

There are also discounts that off-campus merchants give to students, staff, & faculty when they show their ID cards.

What do I do if my Sooner OneCard becomes damaged or broken?
The magnetic stripe on the card may become worn or scratched, which may render it unreadable. In that case, a free reprint of the card can be obtained at the OneCard Office. If, through normal wear and tear of the card, it becomes faded or broken, then the OneCard Office will replace the card free of charge. Obvious abuse of the card will result in having to pay a replacement fee of $20.

Is it OK to punch a hole in the card to make it so that I can put it on my key-ring?
Do not punch a hole in the card! Keep the card away from devices that may clear the encoding on the magnetic stripe. Putting the card on your key-ring may scratch the magnetic stripe of the card, and that could render it unreadable.

Can I let a friend use my card?
Do not let a friend or family member borrow your card. The card may be confiscated and a criminal or academic misconduct incident may be filed against the borrower and/or you.

Where is the OneCard Office located?
