I'm a Faculty/Staff

All faculty and staff members here at the University are entitled to have an ID card. We are a one-card campus — all campus amenities are serviced via the one UVM CATcard. This card provides you access to your privileges, meal plans, door access and the UVM debit account known as CAT$cratch. All faculty and staff members must be in the PeopleSoft system before being eligible to obtain an ID card. You are required to bring a form of a government issued photo ID with you (Driver's license, Military ID, Passport, etc).
