Getting Your BUC Card

Get you BUC Card Using FSW Online Photo Submission

Here are the steps that have to be completed to get your BUC Card Campus ID:

  1. Send an email from your BUC email (you@fsw.edu) to BUCcardOPS@fsw.edu requesting a secure thread to send your photo and Government issued ID through.
  2. You have to be signed up for at least one class.
  3. Stand in front of a solid background (white preferred) and take a straight-on picture of yourself.
  4. The picture needs to be from the middle of your chest to a couple of inches above your head (just like the picture on the demonstration card above).

  5. Make sure:

    • No hat or head cover on unless it is for medical or religious reasons.
    • Nothing is covering your face.
    • Your eyes can be seen in the picture (try the picture without glasses).
    • It is only you in the picture.

  6. Send two pictures in the secure thread:

    • The photo you just took as a jpg.
    • A picture of your government issued ID (Passport, Driver’s License, or State issued ID Card).
  7. In the subject line enter your 8-digit student ID# and your name as it appears on your government issued ID (Passport, Driver’s License, or State issued ID Card).
  8. In the body of the email include your mailing address that was submitted to FSW during the Admissions process.
  9. You will receive an email when your picture is approved and you will receive your picture in the mail within 10 business days.

*If you are replacing an existing BUC Card, you will be notified that there will be a $15 replacement fee added to your student account to complete this transaction.
