The Texan Card is the university’s identification card issued to students, faculty, staff, and others. It is a photo ID with a magnetic stripe, and is used for a variety of things, such as building access, entry into on-campus events, and Texan Bucks (a stored-value debit system for use on and off-campus).

Your Texan Card gives you access to many Tarleton events and facilities. It is your admission to the Campus Recreation facility and to athletic and fine arts events. You must present your card to receive services at the Student Health Center located in Traditions North. If you live on campus, you will use your Texan Card to access your residence hall and meal plan.

Your first card is free and usually obtained at orientation. Replacements for lost, stolen, or damaged cards will result in a $10 replacement fee. Students- this will get added to your Texan Bill Pay. Faculty and staff- you will pay in office. Your new Texan Card will void the previous card. We cannot reactivate old cards.
