Students who were issued a student card before July 2011
If you received your student card prior to July 2011 and you are currently registered as a student, you can either go to InfoService or the uOttawa Card Service to get your new uOttawa card.
The University strongly encourages you to replace your old card with the new uOttawa card, even if you’re not required to do so. You can continue to use the old student card for student identification, borrowing books and access to Sports Services facilities. However, you cannot use the old student card for campus purchases. If you have a balance on your old student card, your funds will be transferred to your uOttawa card.
Acceptable photo identification to get your uOttawa card
To get your uOttawa card, you must be registered to a course and present a valid passport or at least two of the following, one with your photo:
- Driver's licence (photo)
- Certificate of Indian Status (photo)
- Ontario BYID card (LCBO) (photo)
- Federal government employee ID (photo)
- Provincial government employee ID (photo)
- Municipal government employee ID (photo)
- Canadian citizenship certificate
- Birth certificate
- Social Insurance Number (SIN) card

Note: If you do not return your old student card, an administration fee of $25 will be required.
