Frequently Asked Questions
-
What prompted the redesign of the ID Card?
Due to a few technological restraints we needed to change up the design. Plus, we wanted to better highlight the campus so people can better associate the card with ETSU at a glance. -
Who designed the ID Card?
Much thanks ETSU Office of Marketing and Communications staff Cody Ryans and Briar Worley! -
Is there an employee version of the card?
Yes! Employees will be issued the new design for replacements and initial assignment mid-May.
-
When will you being production of the new ID design?
We will begin production for the new design on the first orientation session for new-students for the fall '23-'24 academic year. This orientation is scheduled for April 22nd. -
How can I get a card with the new design?
Only if you are new to ETSU and have never received an ID card before, or you are required to have a replacement made. Due to card supply and cost, we are not updating ID cards for design purposes only. -
Is there any new-and-improved functionality in the new cards?
We have begun distributing ID cards with chip technology embedded to allow users to simply tap their card at readers around campus. We needed to design a new look that avoids printing on top of the embedded chip area within the card. These readers are being installed on new projects where the ID card is required to gain entry. -
Will my current ID continue to work?
Yes. Current cards will still function. IDs are only printed in the event a card is lost or damaged once a replacement fee is paid. IDs will not be printed due to design change. Individuals who are permitted for entry into areas that have the new readers are contacted with instructions to have their cards replaced. -
If I have to get a replacement, can I request the blue and gold version instead of the new one?
No. All IDs printed after April 22nd will have the new design. -
Is it okay to still accept older versions of the ID Card for local discounts and campus access verification?
Yes! Because we are not rolling out the new design for everyone, we please ask that you still continue to accept older versions of the ID card. -
I would like to update my marketing materials that currently include an image of the blue and gold ID card. How can I get the updated image?
