(New Student Orientation participants will use the Orientation Participants link)

Are you taking classes online or working at another location and do not live in the Grand Forks area?

Do you plan on attending New Student Orientation and receiving your U Card at that time?

Faculty/Staff

Employees need to have an EMPL # before receiving a U Card.

New employees may be issued a U Card upon completion of one of the following:

  • Completion of employment paperwork
  • Completion of Person of Interest process

Only after one of these processes has been completed will U Card staff be able to verify employment in the HRMS system and issue a U Card.

Lost or Stolen Card

  • You must notify the U Card Office (701) 777-1234
  • You are responsible for all transactions made to your account until you have notified the U card office.

If you find your lost U Card (and you have not replaced it): Please bring your U Card to One-Stop Student Services. This will assure the security of your account. If you have already purchased a replacement card, your old card will no longer be valid.
