A. REASON FOR POLICY

This policy provides procedures and guidelines for the purpose, ownership, issuance, replacement and disposal of the University approved forms of identification (“ID”): the digital Xavier One Pass and the legacy physical ALL Card. Both forms of approved Xavier identification are acceptable and designed to serve as a proof of status within the Xavier community for students, faculty, staff and other appropriate affiliated individuals to verify identity and to manage access to various services, programs, and facilities administered by Xavier University.

By using a Xavier University ID in any form or manner, the ID holder agrees to comply with and be subject to the terms set forth in this Policy. The terms are subject to change or termination at any time.

B. POLICY

Xavier has approved two forms of official identification for its campus community - the Xavier One Pass and the ALL Card. Authority to issue IDs is delegated solely to the Office of Auxiliary Services.

  • The One Pass is the primary ID issued or re-issued by the University, replacing the ALL Card.
  • The University will continue to support both IDs until a time when reader hardware is no longer capable of accepting magnetic stripe. At that point, all remaining ID holders will be transitioned over to a One Pass or contactless ID Card, if the holder is exempted from the One Pass.
  • The Office of Auxiliary Services might issue an exemption to the One Pass and issue a contactless ID Card to the following individuals in the following circumstances:
    • TECHNICAL: Students or employees who use a phone, device, or service provider that prevents them from either downloading the apps or utilizing the NFC technology necessary for provisioning of the One Pass. This may include international issued phones that may not be compatible with the United States apps and technology.
    • CONTRACTORS: University Contractors and other unaffiliated persons in need of an ID to access University facilities and/or services, until such time as a One Pass can be accessible to external persons.
    • NATURE OF WORK: Students or employees who are not permitted to utilize a cell phone as part of their job restrictions. In this case a temp access card may be issued to facilitate access when One Pass not allowed.
    • RETIREES: Retirees who are approved to utilize University facilities and/or services in which an ID is required.
