Procedure — Bronco cards
Obtaining a Bronco card
Supervisors should bring or send new employees to obtain a Bronco Card at the Bronco Card Center. Employees should bring with them a photo ID (such as a driver's license) and a copy of their Appointment form. This should be done on the employee's first day of employment or as soon as possible thereafter.
Lost or stolen Bronco cards
Lost or stolen Bronco Cards should be reported immediately to Public Safety. Cards will be replaced upon request.
Separation
Employees who separate from the University must relinquish their Bronco Card. The supervisor
should collect and destroy the employee's Bronco Card on the employee's last day of employment.
However, if a Human Resources Representative is administering the separation, the Representative will collect
and destroy the employee's Bronco Card.
