Eligibility
Students

You are eligible for a OneCard once you are registered for class. New first-year or transfer students obtain their OneCards at Orientation. All others may obtain their OneCards at the Office of Student Activities during regular business hours. Your OneCard is valid while you are a registered student. All registered students must have a OneCard and carry it with them at all times.

Your OneCard is non-transferable: it can ONLY be used by the person named on the card.

Faculty and Staff

You are eligible for a OneCard while you are employed at Hobart and William Smith.

If you need a new OneCard ID card, please go to the Office of Student Activities.

Reporting a Lost Card

If you have lost your OneCard (or you feel it has been stolen), you must report it as soon as possible. You are responsible for all activity on your card until it is deactivated.

If you have lost your OneCard over the weekend, report the loss to Campus Safety. Dining Services staff members can assist you in making food purchases until Monday when you can replace your card.

Deactivating a Lost Card

Report a lost card by one of the following:

  • In Person: You may stop by the Office of Student Activities during business hours to report a lost or stolen card and a new card may be issued right away.
  • By Phone: You may call the Office of Student Activities during business hours, or Campus Safety after hours. Your card will be deactivated while you are on the phone.

Reactivating a Reported Lost Card

Should you find your lost card or have it found and returned to you, if you have not had a new card issued to you, you may bring it in person to the Office of Student Activities or Campus Safety for reactivation. If you have had a new card issued and you find your old card, destroy the old card and just use the new one.

Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
Do faculty and staff need the newly branded OneCard in order to use this program?

Technically, no. The new ID card (called the OneCard) is mainly meant to be used at locations where card access has been installed (e.g. residence halls).

Where do I go if I want to replace my old ID with a new OneCard?

Faculty and staff who have not received a new OneCard can always go to the OneCard Office, on the second floor of Scandling Center, and request to have a new card printed. If you would like, they will even take a new photo for you.
