I'm a Faculty/Staff

We have gone fully digital!  All faculty and staff members here at the University are entitled to have a digital CATcard. We are a one-card campus — all campus amenities are serviced via the one UVM CATcard. The digital 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.

Please email us a picture of your government issued photo ID (Driver's license, Military ID, Passport, etc) along with a headshot for use on your digital CATcard to CATcard@uvm.edu and include your name and employee ID number (seven digit number beginning with 01).  We will then load your infromation into our record and respond with an email on how to download your CATcard onto your smartphone.  If you prefer to come into our office to take a photo and have assistance getting your card onto your phone we will glady assist you during our normal business hours. 

Temporary Staff members must have their supervisor/department complete the Temporary Staff ID Request found on our site.  The cost for the Temporary ID is $10 and can be paid by the staff member or by a department chart string.  This ID must be renewed each time it expires and it can only be valid for a maximum of 365 days/1 year.
