FSUCard Online Photo

Who is eligible to submit their FSUCard Photo online?
FSUCard Photo is currently available to all students, faculty, and staff.

Where will my student card be sent (if mailed)?
Your student FSUCard will be mailed to your ‘Home’/permanent address with FSU. If you would like it sent to an alternate address, you must update your mailing address through the myFSU portal (my.fsu.edu) – in the left-hand column, under myFSU Identity Management, choose My Profile, and update your Mailing Address under Address.

When will I receive my FSUCard?
NEW STUDENTS
Your FSUCard will be mailed out within 7-10 business days to your home address on file with the University.
CURRENT STUDENTS Current students requiring a replacement FSUCard can access their FSUCard and Library Card numbers through the my.fsu.edu portal under My Profile in the myFSU Identity Management section. In many cases, the numbers themselves will provide students the needed access. If a student requires a physical FSUCard replacement, they should contact the FSUCard Center at fsucard@fsu.edu. The FSUCard Center is currently open by appointment only and will fulfill these requests on an as-needed basis.
FACULTY & STAFF Please make an appointment with the FSUCard Center to visit the office in person. The $15 replacement fee for lost, stolen, or damaged cards is due at the time of pickup at the FSUCard Center.Does the FSUCard Center keep the Supporting Documents (government-issued photo identification) on file?
Upon acceptance of your uploaded photo and production of your FSUCard, the online photo system automatically deletes the supporting documents.

Already have an FSUCard?
If you already have an FSUCard, all functions (door access, library, FSUCash, meal plan, etc) tied to your existing FSUCard will be moved to the new card when the card is printed (not when you receive your card) and your old card will no longer function.

I am a Distance Learning Student. How do I obtain an FSUCard?
Distance Learning Students may use the FSUCard Photo submission system. Visit fsucard.fsu.edu/your-fsucard for more information.

Can I update my picture in the system any time I want?
No, the photo in the system and on your FSUCard must legally match. Uploading a photo to the system is the same as requesting a new card.

I have legally changed my name and want to update my card with my new name. What do I do?

To have your name changed on your FSUCard, you must make sure your name is updated with the Registrar's Office (for students) or Human Resources through OMNI (for faculty/staff). It can take 1-2 business days for this change to be reflected on your FSUCard record. You will need to bring your old card and a government-issued ID (Driver's License, Passport, etc.) with your new name. The replacement fee will be waived if proper documentation of a legal name change (letter of change, marriage license, etc.) is presented at the time of issuance. The replacement fee will still apply if no supporting documentation is produced, or if you don't bring your existing FSUCard.

FSUCash will roll over from semester to semester and year to year. FSUCash can be refunded upon graduation or departure from the University. After 12 months of inactivity, a monthly deduction will begin until the account reaches a zero balance. This deduction will never cause your balance to go negative. To make the FSUCash account active again, simply make a deposit or use your FSUCash account at any of the locations on campus that accept FSUCash.

To receive a refund of your FSUCash balance:

  1. Visit the FSUCard Center or email us at fsucard@fsu.edu.
  2. Fill out and sign the FSUCash refund form.
  3. The refund will take up to 20 business days to process. For FSUCash deposits made with a credit/debit card, refunds will be applied to that card. If it cannot be refunded to the credit/debit card, a check will be issued to the address provided on the form. A check can take up to an additional 8 weeks for processing.

Is adding FSUCash to my card secure?

Yes. The online FSUCash transaction is conducted via a secure server and your data is encrypted during transmission. You can be assured that your information is protected.

I tried to make a deposit and it didn’t go through to my card but charged my bank account. What should I do?

Transactions are not completed unless a receipt is emailed to you. The charge on your bank account should show as pending and will be automatically refunded in the next few days. Try the transaction again, making sure to verify that all the information entered is correct and you receive a receipt for your transaction.
