This notice is to remind you about a joint project led by the OSU Key Shop and the ID Center to update the building access control system and ensure that all students, faculty and staff obtain the Orange ID cards that were first made available in July 2019. A university-wide transition to the Orange ID card is necessary in order to ensure the best possible security for our facilities. 

All OSU faculty, students and staff must have an Orange ID card by June 30, 2024, to ensure access to Corvallis campus buildings. Users who have not updated their cards will lose building access on July 1.

Please note card holders who received their current ID card AFTER July 2019 were issued an Orange ID at that time. No further action is necessary. 

Who needs to update their card? 

Many OSU community members obtained an Orange ID card when they were first made available five years ago. However, we know that a number of users are still carrying old OSU IDs. If your current ID card was issued prior to July 2019 and you have NOT updated to an Orange ID card since then, you will need to get a new card. 

More information about this project, including images of the old and new ID cards, can be found on the Orange ID Card Update website.

Help your building occupants maintain access   

The Key Shop and the ID Center are working to communicate this change to all affected card holders. Please forward this information to occupants in your building and other parties who might be impacted.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Key Shop.
