Now that you're a Monarch, faculty and staff may use either an ODU Mobile ID or a physical ID card as their official university credential. Your ID card serves as your University identification, giving you access to ODU discounts, and can serve as a prox card that allows you access to certain ID-protected areas on campus. You can also add money to your Monarch Plus account and swipe your ID card to make purchases at participating locations.
Procedure to Set Up Your ID (Mobile ID or Physical Card)
New Employee will send an email to cardcenter@odu.edu that includes:
- First & Last Name
- University ID Number (UIN)
- New Employee Orientation Date
- Attach headshot photo as a JPEG attachment
If all criteria is met, your new ID can be picked up after your New Employee Orientation. If you are virtual, you may request that the ID be mailed to the address on file. Faculty and staff may request a physical ID card or choose to use Mobile ID.
