Students may obtain their UNK ID Card by clicking the appropriate link below based on campus enrollment, online enrollment, or UNMC enrollment. Follow the instructions to submit a photo using the GET app and then pick up their ID in the ID Card Office (Suite 142G in the Nebraskan Student Union) during New Student Enrollment. You must appear in person to obtain your identification card. Remember to bring photo identification, such as a driver’s license, passport or photo military ID. Students attending virtual NSE will pick up ID cards in person when they arrive on campus.
Employees have two options for getting their UNK ID card. They can visit the ID Card Office (Suite 142G in the Nebraskan Student Union) to have their photo taken and card printed. Or follow the instructions below to upload a photo using the GET app and pick up the card when it is printed. Remember to bring photo identification, such as a driver’s license, passport or photo military ID.
Online or Blended students do not pay ID card, activity and facility fees. Therefore, they are not eligible for a standard UNK ID card. However, some online students want a UNK ID card to receive discounts from local vendors, etc. These students can request a non-photo Distance UNK ID Card. The card will have a stock photo instead of a student photo and exclude the barcode, magnetic stripe, and iclass chip so that the card will not work in campus readers. A $10 fee will be assessed per card. To obtain a Distance ID Card request form by mail, email Heather Rhinehart and include your mailing address and NUID number.
To ensure your UNK ID Card is ready, please submit your acceptable photo at least 5 days prior to your orientation or pick up date.
You must bring proper identification to pick up your UNK ID Card. A valid driver’s license, government-issued ID, military ID, or passport are acceptable forms of identification. The document must contain a photograph. The name that appears on the document must match the name that is on your student record.
