Where do I pick up my PennCard?
If you are a new student and you submit your PennCard application within two weeks of receiving your Campus Express brochure, your PennCard will be ready for pick up at the Campus Express Center in Houston Hall during New Student Orientation, August 29, 30, and 31. Important: A valid government issued photo I.D. will be required in order to pick up your PennCard.
If you are a new fall student you should submit your PennCard application and photo within two weeks of receiving your Campus Express brochure — that way, your PennCard will be ready for pick up at the Campus Express Center in Houston Hall during New Student Orientation. If you submit your application and photo later in the summer, your card will probably be ready for pick-up at the Campus Express Center, so check with us at Campus Express during move-in. But, it’s always best to submit your PennCard application and photo as early as you can. If you arrive on campus after NSO, you may obtain your PennCard at the PennCard Center unless your school made other arrangements. Important: A valid government issued photo I.D. will be required in order to pick up your PennCard.
