Current Penn State id+ cardholders at Penn State Shenango will receive a new id+ card during a re-carding event on Wednesday, Nov. 9. The event is part of a University-wide process to distribute the updated, mobile-forward campus card.
From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Nov. 9, students, faculty, staff, and card-holding affiliates can pick up their new id+ card in the Great Hall on campus. A new photo must be submitted by Nov. 4 in order to receive the updated campus card during the event. Details on how to submit a new headshot photo are provided below.
The event is one of five re-carding efforts taking place at select Penn State campuses this fall. In addition to the Shenango campus, Penn State Dickinson Law and the DuBois, Great Valley and Wilkes-Barre campuses also are scheduled to host re-carding events.
University Park and other campuses will be re-carded in spring 2023.
Anyone who received a new id+ card after May 10, 2022, will not need to take part in a re-carding event.
