HPU IDcard

The HPU IDcard contains a color photo, as well as a computer-generated student, faculty or staff number.  Social Security numbers are no longer used as ID numbers at HPU in order to increase security of student, faculty, and staff records. 

  • Every student, whether new or continuing, needs a IDcard since it is recognized as a student's official campus identification. The card is required for such activities as getting a student handbook and utilizing the University's intercampus shuttle service. It also entitles full-time students to free or reduced-rate entrance to athletic events, and Student Life & First-Year Programs, Student Government Association (SGA), and Campus Activities Board (CAB) functions.
  • HPU faculty and staff members also need a ID card since it serves as the individual's official identification.

The ID card is required to gain access to certain services of the University Libraries (Atherton Library and Meader Library), the Computer Center, the Educational Technology Center, and the Tutoring Centers.

Additionally, many merchants recognize the ID card for the purposes of providing discounts on various services and products. 

New and Continuing Students

  • Complete the registration process.
  • Bring a valid photo identification with you. Examples include your driver's license, state ID, military ID, or passport.

HPU Faculty and Staff

  • Visit the Human Resources office to fill out the new hire forms and get your picture taken.
  • Your supervisor or head of your department will issue your ID card when its processed (approximately 2-3 days).

Military Campus Programs Students

  • Students at any military campus may go to either of the processing locations to obtain an HPU ID card.
  • For some reason a student registered at a military campus is unable to visit one of these processing locations, he/she can submit a photo to the MCP office (upon approval) to receive a HPU ID card.

Replacement ID Cards
The replacement fee for lost, stolen or damaged cards is $15.00.

ID Card Processing Schedule and Location. 
The schedule varies throughout the year. There are two processing locations for the HPU ID card. One is located in the Registrar's Office located at the Downtown Campus (UB Building, Suite 216). The second location is in the Educational Technology Center located on the Hawaii Loa Campus (AC Building, 3rd floor).
