Campus Card

Yes! If you just added a Chosen Name through Carleton Central, or legally changed your name with the Registrar’s Office (students) or HR (staff / faculty), you are entitled to a free replacement of your Campus Card and U-Pass!

Please allow one business day for the change to show in our system, and remember you will need to give back your old card(s) to get the new one(s).
