newcard (New School ID)
The New School provides employees a University photo identification card, called the “newcard.” Employees are required to carry their newcard with them at all times for access into buildings, use of consortium libraries, and attendance at events.
Please note that while your newcard will provide you entrance into most campus facilities, your actual access permissions are dependent on:
Submit Your ID Photo
Employees are asked to submit their own photo for use on their newcard. The photo will also be used to represent you in several places including MyNewSchool, the University Directory, and Faculty Bios on The New School's public website.
Photos should be high-resolution, passport-style images. Files can be no larger than 6MB and JPEG format is recommended. Detailed submission instructions may be found on the Card Services website.
Check the status of your photo submission anytime by visiting the Card Services website and entering your NetID.
Pick Up Your Card
Reply to your photo confirmation email to let Campus Card Services when you plan to pick up your card. Particularly during busy times (like before student orientation), faculty and staff should allow three business days for processing. Exact appointments are not needed - cards will be printed and encoded while you wait.
Campus Card Services is located in the new student organizations and activity space on the 2nd floor of 39 West 13th Street. Current hours of operation may be found on the website.
You will be asked to present a form of legal photo ID when you pick up your newcard, such as your driver's license or passport. There is no charge for your first newcard.

Your newcard may be used to:
