Academic Cards
Wharton students enrolled in degree-granting undergraduate, MBA, and doctoral programs may purchase “academic cards” from Wharton Printing, which can help facilitate face-to-face networking and event planning.
Guidelines for Academic Cards
Information on academic cards is strictly limited to the candidate’s degree program status and personal address and contact information. Either current or permanent addresses may be included.
- Do not mention your club or organizational affiliations on your academic card.
- Doctoral students are permitted to list their departmental affiliation.
- Wharton cards may not carry a school logo other than that of Wharton.
- Wharton cards may not display a student’s office address.
Professional certifications are allowed only for graduate students, and these standards are maintained by the Graduate Division.
How Do I Order My Academic Card?
- Wharton cards can only be obtained through Wharton Printing. Orders are processed on Bursar billing to confirm the student’s enrollment in a degree-granting program.
- Personal business cards printed elsewhere are not permitted to reproduce the Wharton name or logo.
