Remember to 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.
