Your U Card

Before school starts, it is important to obtain your U Card, the University of Minnesota’s official student identification card. You will need your U Card to access services, such as library book checkout and the recreation center.

Go to the U Card Office at Orientation with a valid photo ID (driver's license, state ID, or passport) to have your picture taken and receive your U Card.

Please note: If you are transferring from another U of M campus, you will need a new U Card. To receive a replacement card, please bring your old U Card with you to orientation.
