Returning Undergraduate & Graduate Students

Returning undergraduate and graduate students located on the Pittsburgh campus will be able to pick up their new SMART Cards during the week of Sept. 23-27, 2013 from 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. at Andy's Alcove, lower level of the University Center. Students must turn in their current, old ID Card in order to receive their new SMART Card. Cards will be distributed alphabetically by last name according to the following timeline:

  • M-R: Wednesday, Sept. 25
  • S-Z: Thursday, Sept. 26

Students who do not have their current, old ID Card to turn in, must visit The HUB so a replacement SMART Card can be printed. The cost for a replacement card is $25. SMART Cards not picked up during distribution week will be returned to The HUB, located in the lower level of Warner Hall, for distribution during regular business hours:

  • Monday, Wednesday and Friday - 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
