-
I am a new graduate. When can I request my alumni bee card?
Once your status transitions from student to graduate in the University records, you may request an alumni bee card. This process normally occurs within 4-8 weeks following commencement. If you need more immediate attention, a temporary card can be issued only after the alumni relations office is able to verify your graduation with the records office.
-
Does my current alumni card (blue and white) still work?
Yes, the alumni card issued to you from the Office of Alumni Relations still fulfills the same purpose. It is your decision if you choose to get the new alumni bee card. Your first one is offered to you at no cost.
-
Is there a charge for the alumni bee card?
No, there is no charge for your initial bee card. There is a $20 replacement charge if you lose or misplace your card.
-
Do I need to have a photo ID on my card?
A photo ID is only required if you plan to use the recreation center. If you choose to have a photo ID on the card when you submit the alumni bee card request form, you will be required to visit the Campus Card Office to have your picture taken. Or, if you graduated post-2003, you can request to have your student picture on file used.
-
Do I have access to campus facilities with my alumni bee card?
No. Unlike the student bee card, the alumni bee card is not set-up to be used for door access, so you will not be able to swipe into campus facilities.
-
Do I get a discount on parking with the alumni bee card?
No, unfortunately we are unable to offer a discount at this time. Please note that in the days following graduation, all prepaid parking plans (options 1, 2, 3, and 4) expire. Prepaid plans are use or lose. Pay-per-park accounts do not expire and balances can continue to be used on your alumni bee card.
