Identification Cards
Overview
Pepperdine University issues all students, faculty, and staff an identification (ID) card when their association with Pepperdine begins. Everyone must carry their Pepperdine ID card at all times. Student ID cards are valid for seven years. ID cards for faculty and staff are void upon termination of employment. All void ID cards should be returned to the University.
How to Get Your ID Card
Students receive ID cards at New Student Orientation (NSO). The Human Resources department issues Faculty and staff ID cards at time of hire. The first ID card is free. Should a card become damaged, return it to One Stop (students) or the Human Resources department (faculty and staff); and get a new card free of charge. If a card is lost or stolen, there is a $15 fee for a replacement card. To get your new card, students should visit OneStop, and faculty and staff should visit the Human Resources department in Thornton Administrative Center (TAC).
