Terms and Conditions
Policy on Release of OneCard Digitized Photographs
A valid government issued photo identification card is required to obtain your OneCard (ID card). You will not receive your OneCard without a valid government issued photo ID card. Please bring either a U.S. Driver’s License issued by DMV, or a Passport, or a U.S. Military ID card.
The use of any photograph submitted through the OneCard Brookdale Bucks eAccount online photo submission software is only to obtain a new OneCard (ID card). If you want a new photo on your OneCard, the standard replacement fee applies. If an incorrect photo is submitted and your card is printed, at the time of pickup, a replacement fee will be required to have a new card printed with your correct photo.
When a photograph is taken for the issuance of a OneCard, the digitized photo will be stored electronically for identification and security purposes. In addition, the photo may be used for approved internal college business purposes (e.g. class rosters, seating charts, academic advising rosters, and business uses that may be approved in the future).
