What is a TAMIU OneCard and why should I have one? A Texas A&M International University OneCard is your campus ID if you are a student, administrator, faculty, staff or alumni. It is important that you keep it with you at all times for identification, and for other privileges linked to your card. For example, if you live in the Residence Hall you will need your card for after-hours door access.

Who can have a TAMIU OneCard? The TAMIU OneCard is available to students, administrators, faculty, staff, and alumni.  If you would like to have a TAMIU OneCard but you are unsure if you qualify, call TAMIU Campus Card Services at (956) 326-2877 or email us at onecard@tamiu.edu.
