Welcome to the University of Oklahoma! One of the first and most important steps, before you're official, is to upload your ID photo through the Transact eAccounts app. Soon after your photo is approved, you will be able to add the Sooner ID in Apple Wallet on iPhone and Apple Watch and *GPay on Android devices. The Sooner Card is the University of Oklahoma’s official identification card for students, faculty and staff. Whether you're taking classes in-person or you decide to make a visit to campus at any point during your time in one of OU’s online programs, your Sooner Card connects you to campus by granting you access to buildings, athletic events, campus dining, printing, buying books and course materials, education discounts online and so much more!
