Wildcat OneCard Policies

The Wildcat OneCard is the official Kansas State University identification card to be used while attending or employed by the university or its local agencies. The card is issued to currently enrolled students at K-State, as well as current, retired, and emeritus employees of the university and its local agencies. Cardholders are required to carry their card at all times while on campus. The card must be presented to any university officer or employee upon request for identification.

The card displays the holder's name, Wildcat ID (WID), account numbers, photo and signature. The WID is a unique nine-digit number assigned by the university to identify each member of the K-State community and its local organizations. By default, the card will feature the holder's full legal name, but a preferred name can also be used.

In addition to serving as general identification, the card is necessary for course exams, access to K-State Libraries and K-State Student Union services, recreational facilities, dining services, residence halls, medical records, the Lafene Health Center and admission to select K-State athletic events.

Conference Services

The ID Center may issue special use cards for conferences utilizing the K-State campus or K-State Student Union facilities. To request special use cards, use the Conference Card Request form.

Care and Use

You are responsible for the care and use of the card. Misuse of the card, including loaning it out, falsifying information, altering it or using it without authorization, may result in disciplinary action or legal prosecution. A misuse fee of $20 will be assessed for such violations.

To keep your card in good condition:

• Protect it from damage caused by rubbing or scratching.
• Do not punch holes in the card.
• Avoid placing the card on wireless chargers, as this can malfunction the embedded chips.
• Keep the magnetic strip unobstructed and only use the card for its intended purposes.

If your card is defective or damaged, you can have it replaced at the ID Center located in the K-State Student Union.

If your card is lost or stolen, report it immediately on the account management website. Please note that a non-refundable fee applies to replacement cards.

You are responsible for all transactions that occur before you report the card as lost or stolen. Transactions made after the card has been reported lost or stolen will be subject to verification by the ID Center. Cards that are replaced due to loss or theft will be deactivated and cannot be reactivated. Your card balance will be transferred to the replacement card.
