Kean ID Cards
Kean University REQUIRES ALL active, registered students, faculty and staff to have an official Kean University identification card. Kean ID cards provide access to campus buildings and classrooms, computer labs, the gymnasium and dormitories. The Kean ID card also serves as a form of identification for on-campus activities and University events. Students may also use Kean ID cards for meal plans, Cougar dollars and flex plans, if applicable.
Students have the ability to upload an ID card photo through the Kean University GET Mobile App. Students can use the GET Mobile App to manage their Kean ID Card funds and view meal plan balances; anytime, anywhere. Download the GET Mobile app today!
Simply search for "GET" in the Google Play or Apple App stores and use your KeanGoogle login. Once installed on your device you'll be able to:
- View your balances. Account balances are available in real time and accessible 24/7.
- See your transaction history. Up to six months of transaction history can be displayed and information includes the date, time, location, account, type of transaction, and transaction amount.
- Report your Kean ID card lost or stolen. This will immediately lock the card so it cannot be used until you report the card found or have it replaced.
- Deposit Flex Dollars to your account for use at on and off campus locations. Also, you can make requests to others to deposit funds to your card on the GET Portal.
- Explore locations within the app that accept any of our Kean Currencies.
In addition to the GET Mobile App you may access your account using a web browser by visiting the GET Portal. Your login is your KeanGoogle email credentials.
With GET Mobile you're just a few clicks away from the most convenient way to manage your Kean ID Card!

Replacement Cards
All cards that are lost, stolen or damaged are subject to a $15 replacement fee. Anyone who has lost their ID card should deactivate their card via the GET App immediately and also report the card as lost to The Office of Student Accounting the same day.
Each student is responsible for the security of their card. Kean ID Cards are non-transferable, and students may not "lend out" their cards to others. Cards that are used by someone other than the cardholder will be confiscated and disciplinary action may be taken.
