What is the VU ID card and who needs one?

The VU ID (currently the BlazerOne card) is the official student identification card at Vincennes University. All students enrolled at the Vincennes or Jasper campus need the card, which is required for meal plan access, library checkout, and other campus services.

What if I'm a new student without a BlazerOne card?

New students who do not have a BlazerOne card will receive a new ID card at the start of the fall semester. Students at the Vincennes campus can pick up their ID from the Bursar Office; Jasper campus students pick it up from their Administrative Office.

Does the VU ID card need to be activated to work on campus?

No. If you already have a BlazerOne card, you do not need to reactivate it — it continues to function as your VU ID even after the transition to a new system.

Will VU move to mobile IDs?

Yes — Vincennes University plans to transition to mobile IDs starting in Spring 2026. Until then, the BlazerOne card remains the official VU ID.

Transition to VU ID

Students who already have a BlazerOne card will continue to use it as their official VU ID. This card handles ID card services, such as checking out library books or using a meal plan in Tecumseh dining center (a VU ID is required to enter). New students who do not have a BlazerOne card will receive a new VU ID card at Trailblazer Kickoff or the start of the fall semester. Students at the Vincennes campus should go to the Student Financial Services Office to pick up their VU ID, while students at the Jasper campus should go to the Administrative Office.

Please visit the Refunds and Fastpass page for more information on the new student refund process and how to enroll.

Students who do not have a BlazerOne card or VU ID still need to have their picture taken. To submit a photo online, log in to your VU-X account (Google Chrome is the preferred browser), go to the “Upload Student ID Photo” card, and click on the picture. Please read the guidelines carefully and follow the directions to submit your photo.

Detailed Instructions to Submit Online Photo

However, please understand that you still need to enroll in direct deposit refunds on VU-X for any future refunds for which you are be eligible. For questions regarding your existing Vibe account with BankMobile, contact 1-800-815-6109. You may also contact our office at 1-812-888-4361

Official Image Requirements

Yes, you can smile!

This should be a color photo taken on against a plain, light background. You should be facing directly ahead; please do not look down or to either side. Your photo should be cropped slightly above head to the middle of your chest. Head coverings for religious beliefs are acceptable, provided that the head covering shows a full view of the face, does not cast a shadow onto the face, and shows an overall pattern in the fabric or material (i.e., not a graphic design).

Prescription glasses may be worn for the photo; however, there should be no reflections from the eyeglasses that obscure the eyes. Dark glasses or nonprescription glasses with tinted lenses are not acceptable unless they are needed for medical reasons; a medical certificate may be required. No hats are allowed. The key requirement for your ACCESS card image is that the photo clearly identifies you, the cardholder.
