Faculty/Staff ID Cards

Faculty/Staff ID Cards

Faculty/Staff ID Cards allow university personnel to access departmental resources and restricted areas, in addition to basic access to buildings and resources. You may get an ID card as long as you are listed as an active faculty/staff member and have been assigned a PSU ID number. 

Fees

  • PSU Faculty/Staff ID Card (first card): FREE

  • Replacement PSU Faculty/Staff ID Card: $21.00

Your initial ID card is free of charge, but replacements cost $21. ID Services does not accept payments. All charges for ID cards will be billed to your PSU account. Only one ID card can be active at a time for any one person. ID Cards are nontransferable and remain the property of Portland State University. Cards are for purposes of identification and transaction of University business only and must be presented upon request by a properly identified University official. Failure to adhere to the above will result in immediate revocation of your ID card.

New PSU ID cards printed due to a legal name change are free. You must update your new name(s) with Human Resources before you will be able to get an updated ID with the new name.

Expired Cards

All PSU student ID cards expire 10 years after they were issued. Expired cards will no longer grant building access.

New Faculty and Staff

Once Human Resources has authorized issuance of your Faculty/Staff ID, bring valid government issued photo ID to the OIT Help Desk. Issuance of a PSU Faculty/Staff ID requires a PSU ID number. If you work for USGS, OTRADI, the Chancellor’s Office, or another entity with special appointment status, contact PSU’s Office of Human Resources to be assigned a PSU ID number and issued an ID Authorization Form. Bring the form to the OIT Help Desk with your PSU ID number, and valid government issued photo ID to obtain your card.

  • Expired Cards: All staff and faculty PSU ID cards expire 10 years after they were issued. Expired cards will no longer grant building access. 

  • Leaving PSU: Return your PSU ID card to the OIT Help Desk.

Building Access

To be granted additional access to an office or building, contact your department head. They’ll need the Access Badge number shown on the front of your ID card. ID Services cannot assign access to your card. If your card is not working to access a building, hold it next to a card reader and see if it beeps or the light flashes green. If it beeps or the light flashes green, your card is physically working but you have not been granted access to that building. If you think this is an error, contact your department head to request access. If the card reader does not beep, your card is faulty. In this case, visit ID Services and bring valid government issued photo ID to have your card replaced free of charge.

Lost and Found ID Cards

Lost and found PSU ID cards are handled by the OIT Help Desk. If you have lost other items, contact PSU Campus Public Safety. When OIT receives found cards, we notify the cardholder using their @pdx.edu email address. Found cards are held for 30 days at the OIT Help Desk, and then destroyed. All found cards must be picked up in person by the cardholder, who must present valid government issued photo ID to claim their lost ID card.
