Welcome to the U Card Home Page

The U Card identifies you as a student, staff or faculty member of the Twin Cities campus. Your first U Card is free and can be obtained at the U Card Office. Bring your driver’s license, state ID or passport and be prepared to have your picture taken.

The U Card is your key to all sorts of campus services and facilities. Your U Card can also be used as your ATM card and your calling card!

The U Card never expires, so keep it even after you leave the University. If you ever return as a student, staff or faculty member, your card is still valid.

Use your U Card for...

All your checking needs
All your calling needs

Entering the recreation center, golf course, computer labs, buildings, FlexDine and residence hall dining rooms
Cashing checks at the Bursar's Office
