For all others, you can come to the WolfCard office after the approval of your online photo to obtain your card.
Instructions for orientation students
Before applying for your WolfCard
You must be enrolled in classes to create your WolfCard account on line. You can create your account 24 hours after registering.
- Students who submitted photos at least 24 hours prior to their orientation, can pick up their WolfCard during orientation.
- If you are having issues registering or uploading a photo, please contact us at WolfCardOffice@unr.edu or call us at (775) 784-4001.
If you go by a preferred name, please update your name in MyNevada before applying for your WolfCard. There will be a $25 replacement fee to change the name on your card if you do not update your name in MyNevada first.
How to apply for your WolfCard
You will sign in with your default email from your MyNevada (it is also the same email you receive orientation notifications from) and your legal first and last name. If you have issues with this step, please contact our office via email at WolfCardOffice@unr.edu or call us at 775-784-4001.
Sign in with your UNR NetID and password, you may also be prompted to setup your two-step authentication if you have not done so already. If you have issues with your NetID or authentication please contact OIT at 775-682-5000 for assistance.
Once registered you will be brought to the WolfBucks Online account page. Please select the "Profile" tab at the top.
Once you have clicked "Profile," you should see a page titled, “Personal Information.” Click "Submit a New Photo" and upload your photo.
