Purpose: The Bowdoin College ID card policy establishes responsibility for determining and implementing external access controls to any and all College buildings and facilities. This controlled access enhances the safety of all members of the College community and ensures the security of College and personal property.
Students and employees should not lend their ID cards to others. Lost or stolen cards should be reported immediately to Security and the OneCard Office. Employees are required to return identification cards and any other College property when they leave College employment.
Some casual employees who have short terms of employment e. Some casual employees associated within a College special program may have specific ID card needs. Depending on their job descriptions, casuals may also require access to email. Human Resources is responsible for and must approve all requests for a casual employee to have a personal ID card.
If, after the original date of hire, the need for a personal ID card becomes apparent, supervisors may contact Human Resources to request an ID card for a casual employee. The employment end date for most casuals will be embedded in the card and access should automatically end at midnight on the termination date.
Retirees who decide to purchase an annual athletics facilities user pass will be issued a new photo ID. Retirees are also eligible to contact the Library to arrange for a complimentary library card with lending privileges.
