University ID Cards

CSU Pueblo students attending classes on the main campus are required to have a CSU Pueblo ID card (Online and Satellite students are not required to get a University ID).

Obtaining Your University ID

NEW PROCESS: You can upload your photo now! Visit AtriumCampus to log into your university account. The Single-Sign-On (SSO) portal uses the same login information as your university email account. Pro tip: This is the same place you check your Thunderbucks or Meal Plan balance!

• Once logged in, you will select the "Photo Upload" option on the left navigation. For mobile users, this may be located in the menu drop down. 
• Follow the prompts.
• Take your photo or upload a photo. The system will provide feedback if your photo is not accepted. 
• You will have to upload a photo of your valid state-issued photo ID, Military ID, or passport for approval. 
• Once approved, visit the Auxiliary Services Office, located inside the Occhiato Student Center on the second floor (Room 212) during regular working hours Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m, to pick up your ID. It takes less than 5 minutes to print! 
• Don't want to upload a photo? No problem! Auxiliary Services can still take your photo for you in our OSC 212 office.

• You must be a registered student during the current or next semester.
