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 with the return of your existing card!

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).
