Obtaining Your Hilbert ID

Get a new, replacement, or updated Hilbert ID card through our streamlined process. We’re committed to providing a safe and secure learning environment for all. In the near future, additional campus buildings will be equipped with access control systems that require your Hilbert ID card for entry. This measure is designed to enhance campus safety and provide peace of mind for our students, faculty, and staff.

  • If you are new to Hilbert, do not have an ID card, or do not have a Hilbert ID photo on file, you may obtain your photo in a few different ways:
    • New students will be asked to attend a Student Advisement Onboarding & Retention (SOAR) event. Pictures for ID cards will be taken at these events. Once your picture is taken at a SOAR event, your ID card will be made before the semester starts and you can visit the Campus Safety table at orientation. Campus Safety will be handing out ID cards to all new students at that time.
    • If you are unable to attend a SOAR event prior to Orientation, you will likely be directed to visit Campus Safety office (located in the Lower Level Campus Center) while you are on campus that day.  Your photo will be taken, card printed & ID programmed at the same time. See your student advisor for more information on when you will be able to stop by Campus Safety during your day of Orientation. During Orientation, our Campus Safety office may experience higher-than-usual traffic due to the number of new students needing IDs. Please allow for a potential wait time of 10-15 minutes.

  • Confirm Account Activation: Check, or have Human Resources (HR) check with the Hilbert College Information Technology (IT) Department (Bogel 105) first, to ensure your specific accounts for your ID card is set up and ready for your photo to be taken and card printed.
  • Visit Campus Safety: Head to the Campus Safety ID Office in the lower level of the Campus Center.
  • Get Your Photo Taken: Our Campus Safety staff will take your ID photo, print your card and have it programmed to your job responsibilities.
  • Receive Your ID: Your card will be printed, programmed while you wait and then given to you.

Note that if your ID is lost or stolen, this presets a security risk as the ID card now grants access to buildings on campus. It is important that you report to Campus Safety immediately (716-479-1233) if you cannot locate your ID. Campus Safety will immediately disable your ID so that it cannot be used to gain access to Hilbert campus buildings. If, prior to obtaining a replacement ID, you quickly locate the lost ID, Campus Safety can easily re-activate your ID.

  • If your Hilbert ID is lost, stolen, or damaged, there’s a $15 fee for a replacement. Fill out the form to replace your ID card.
  • Replacement: The ID card replacement fee has been significantly reduced so that the Hilbert Community can now obtain a replacement ID with a reasonable fee; encouraging all to address the lost, stolen or damaged card timely.
