Services for Departments

The U Card Office offers many services for University departments, from sending you our U Card brochures to designing and printing ID Badges. Take a look.

Should an employee's U Card be collected?

U Cards must NOT be collected by departments upon termination of full-time or student employment. Because of the services associated with an employee’s U Card, they must never be turned in or collected upon termination of employment. Additionally, U Card should never be retained as collateral for department services.

How can I order U Card Brochures?

U Card brochures are available in large and small quantities for department distribution through campus mail by calling 612-626-9900. Give us the quantity desired, your name, department, and campus address to which the brochures should be sent.

How do I use the U Card for Authentication?

Check Enrollment/Employment Online! The U Card Office offers an Authentication Web Page. Departments can check current enrollment/employment status online with the swipe of a
U Card. The web page can be used with or without a card reader and is available free of charge. For more information, contact:
