Update Your Talon Card

Update your Talon Card at a HotSpot to refresh your access. Hold your Talon Card up to the HotSpot until the flashing/beeping stops, then repeat every seven days.

If you have a previous version of the KSU campus ID card, don’t worry, it still works, and you are not required to replace it.

DO NOT punch a hole in the card as it will damage the SmartCard chip.
