Dining Dollars vs. Razorbuck$
Dining Dollars are only purchased with a meal plan and linked to your Razorback Card and can only be used ON campus. You can reload them in increments of $50, $75, or $100. Email housing@uark.edu with your name, student ID and the amount you want to add.
Razorbuck$ is a separate debit system that never expires and can be added at any time to your Razorback Card. You or your family/friends may upload funds at razorbucks.uark.edu these can be used ON and OFF campus.
Pick Up Requirements
- Everyone must bring a physical government issued photo identification, such as a driver's license, passport, or military ID.
- Outside of orientation, you must be enrolled in classes before you are able to receive their ID.

Cost of Replacement
Every replacement has a cost. Student, staff, and faculty may be entitled to up to 2 replacements of the Razorback ID card.
We DO NOT accept cash or checks. To pay for a replacement, you will be asked to do so in office by scanning a QR code or using our payment portal. Students also have the option to charge the replacement to their student account, but you do have to be actively enrolled in the University to use this option.
Name Change
We do allow name changes on all university IDs; however, this will count towards one
of your replacements.
The ID card will be printed with your legal name not the preferred name.
To make the change in Workday, email registra@uark.edu from your UARK email.
Find more information about personal information policies by visiting the registrars student records webpage.
Photo Upload
We have enabled online photo submission this gives you the opportunity to upload a current photo of yourself. Photo submissions are reviewed manually and may take up to two business days to process. You will be notified if your photo has been approved or rejected by email. Please note that submitting a photo does not print the ID, please contact the office at idcard@uark.edu on your request.
Access Control
Some student, faculty, and staff will be given certain access to different buildings and doors on campus. This might be special study lounges, graduate buildings, research labs, etc. The Razorback Card office has NO ABILITY to give you any of this access. We have no way of giving swipe access to any door or building on campus or off. If you are having trouble accessing a building or door, we recommend you reach out to your department administrator or your current major's secretary. We also recommend alarm@uark.edu. Let them know the door and the situation and they should be able to point you in the right direction.
