Campus Card

Photo Submission

The Rambler Card is Loyola's official ID card and identifies all members of the Loyola community. Once you receive your Loyola username and password, you can submit a photo for your Rambler Card via Loyola’s OnLine Card Office website (https://get.cbord.com/luc/full/login.php) or the GET app (available at no charge for iOS and Android). 

Online photo submission is reserved for students, faculty, and staff that have not received their Rambler Card. Individuals requesting an update to their current ID photo must purchase a replacement ID for $25.00 in our office.

You will be required to present a government-issued photo ID (driver's license, state ID, or a valid, unexpired passport) when you receive your Rambler Card.
