Guide for Bear Card Installation

Bear Card Setup Instructions

Setting up your Bear Card requires a few important steps. Please complete each step in the order below.

• Submit and Receive Approval for Your Photo

  • An approved photo is required before you can continue Bear Card set up.

  • You should receive a welcome email from BearCardPhoto@Mercer.edu in your Mercer email account. This email contains a personalized link to upload your photo for approval.

  • If you did not receive this email or the upload link has expired, send an email to BearCardPhoto@Mercer.edu with your MUID and full name. We will resend the email with a new upload link.

•  Set up the Microsoft Authenticator:

  • Microsoft Authenticator is required for secure access to your Bear Card and most Mercer systems. Please contact the I.T. Help Desk if you are having issues with your  password.  

  • If you have already configured Microsoft Authenticator for your Mercer email or MyMercer account, you can proceed to the next step.

•  Transact eAccounts:  This app allows you to access and manage your Bear Card and add to you device.

  • Download the eAccounts app from your app store

The first two guides will walk you through each step of the process. The third guide provides instructions for setting up your Bear Card on a new device.
