Here are some of the key things you need to know about your new UO ID card.

About your ID Card

You will use your ID card to access buildings, buy food, print or make copies, attend university events, receive services and programs on campus, take tests, ride the bus, and more. 

It is important that you keep your card with you at all times, and do not let anyone else use it. 

The university is not responsible for the use of a lost or stolen cards or for unauthorized use of Duck Bucks.

If your card is lost or stolen, report it immediately. Once your card has been marked as lost, it cannot be used to make purchases until it is replaced or unmarked. This safeguards your Duck Bucks from being misused.

  • Download the GET app and mark your card as lost.
  • Call the ID Card Office at 541-346-3113.
  • Email us at uocard@uoregon.edu.

  • Punch a hole in it
  • Mark, scratch, or pry it open
  • Bend, twist, or wash it
  • Expose it to heat
  • Use it as an ice scraper

Duck Bucks

Your UO ID card comes with a declining balance account known as Duck Bucks, which can be used to buy food at any of the campus dining venues and at all locations on campus where Duck Bucks is accepted. 

You can make deposits to your Duck Bucks account anytime.

Duck Bucks do not expire. The funds deposited will remain available to you as long as you are affiliated with the university. Be sure to read the terms and conditions. You can make purchases with your Duck Bucks, but you cannot withdraw funds. When you graduate or leave the university you may request a refund of that balance if you have a balance of more than $5.
