Acceptable forms of ID
Once the Bearkat OneCard Office receives your form request, we will process your request and send a confirmation email back stating that your Distance Learner Request was processed. Please allow 7 to 10 business days to receive your Bearkat OneCard at your local address.
Once you receive your Bearkat OneCard in the mail, you MUST ACTIVATE the card by logging on to www.bearkatone.higheroneaccount.com within 48 hours of receiving your ID card.
You are not required to set up the optional OneAccount linked to the ID card, but you are required to activate the ID card and select a refund preference.
If you have not received your Bearkat OneCard after 10 business days, you can check the status of your card by logging on to Where's My Card on the www.bearkatone.higheroneaccount.com webpage.
