   1. For ID card pictures Odessa College requires individuals to remove any items not worn as part of their daily appearance (i.e. prescription eyeglasses). The only exceptions are items worn for cultural and religious reasons. All bandannas, hats, sunglasses and/or visors, etc. are to be removed before picture is taken.  The ID card picture will be an un-obscured  full  face view picture.

      A $20 charge will be placed on the student’s college account when a replacement ID card is issued.

5. Responsibilities as a Cardholder
   1. Deactivating or Reinstating your Wrangler Card
      Faculty/Staff, Students, and other college cardholders do not have to surrender their cards upon discontinuing their employment/association with Odessa College . We have an automatic privilege assignment/removal process to enable or disable the ID card. If the card has the banking option, disabling the card would not deactivate the banking feature of the card.
   2. Reporting a Lost/Stolen Card
      To report a lost or stolen card, please call 1-866-348-3435, 24 hours a day. The College provides replacement service of ID cards during operational hours (8 AM - 5 PM, M - F). The cards can be replaced at Wrangler Express Center or Cashier's Office. Note that the individual may be asked their social security number and birth date for verification purposes before the card is canceled.
