Where to Use and Care for your Bison One Card

The Bison One Card is the official University ID card for students, faculty and staff; it must be carried while on any University campus.

Please review the sections below to learn where you can use and how to care for your Bison One Card.

Care for your Card

Do not punch holes in or deface your Bison One Card. Your card contains a magnetic stripe inside that grants access to campus buildings through electronic card readers.

Store your Bison One Card in a secure location, such as a wallet or handbag and away from other magnetic cards that may deactivate the card.

Lanyards and other cardholders are often helpful – Barnes & Noble @ Howard University has a variety of lanyard options.
