Faculty and staff must be recognized in the university system as an employee and have an employee ID number before a U Card can be issued. A valid picture id (driver's license, military id, passport, etc.) must also be presented. This program is available to full time faculty and staff ONLY. Hourly employees are not eligible for the credit program, but may participate in the declining debit program.
Affiliates to the campus (non-IU paid employees) are eligible for a U Card by providing signed verification on departmental letterhead from their respective department defining their university status. However, their plan will work as a debit plan similar to that of the student plan. Pre-paid deposits must be made on the card before it can be used.
There is a $25 replacement fee for lost or stolen U Cards.
