Step 2

Approximately one week following a successful Bear Partner application submission, admitted Bear Partner students will receive an email from the UCA Bear Card office with instructions regarding how to obtain a UCA ID card online

Admitted Bear Partner students can also come in person to the UCA Bear Card office.  To get your UCA ID card in person, you will need to bring the following:
– An official, valid photo ID (ex. Passport, Driver’s License, Military ID, or ASU-Beebe/UACCM/UA-PTC Student ID)
– UCA ID number (ex. “B00012345” – this can be found on your acceptance letter)
