Graduating Students: the PennCard is the preferred ID option for entering the Commencement ceremony. Please replace any lost or damaged PennCards before Commencement during PennCard's regular business hours of 8:30am to 5:00pm, Monday through Friday.
Graduates who do not hold a PennCard, such as students in online learning programs, can still attend Commencement by presenting a US state-issued photo ID (such as a driver's license or state-issued ID card) or any valid passport.
A PennCard Access Code (PAC) is the four digit number used with a PennCard at entrance portals with a keypad, most commonly to gain access to residential buildings.
