Your NEW Cougar Card is HERE! The University of Houston is changing the official ID card for all students, faculty and staff. Your new Cougar Card will have a new look and continue to have all of the individualized campus privileges that you have come to enjoy such as meal plan and building access. The new card will not contain any 3rd party banking information so you can feel confident wearing or presenting your Cougar Card. As part of this initiative, we will also be reviewing our records for any cards that need to be deactivated, which is important as we focus on ways to continue making the UH campus a safe place for our students, faculty, staff and guests. We will begin making this transition as early as May 2009; starting with current faculty and staff as well as new incoming students. The new Cougar Card will be produced with photos that are on file in the card system. New students who participate in orientation sessions sponsored by the Dean of Students will receive their new Cougar Card at that time. For faculty and staff, the Cougar Card will be distributed through the College/ Division Administrators. We will schedule time for faculty and staff without photos on file to come to the Cougar Card Office to have their picture taken. This scheduling will be done by College/Division. The production of the new Cougar Card for current students will begin immediately following completion of faculty and staff cards. For current students, distribution will occur from the Cougar Card Office directly to each student upon presentation of a valid government issued ID. When each student, faculty and staff receives their new Cougar Card, they will be required to activate the new Cougar Card through a web site. The web site address will be provided with the new card. Activating the new Cougar Card will deactivate the old Cougar 1 Card.
