Access Control and Keys

CatCard

The CatCard is the official ID of the University of Arizona. The iconic ID gives you access to a number or resources and discounts available to employees, students, faculty, and some Designated Campus Colleagues (DCCs) of the University of Arizona. For those new to campus and eligible to receive a CatCard, this will also serve as your campus badge. Access to locations on campus will be coded onto your CatCard. To obtain a CatCard, provide a color photo and a copy of their government-issued photo ID. Examples of accepted government-issued IDs include, driver’s license, state ID card, passport, military ID or tribal ID. Submit a photo quickly and easily by following the instructions on the CatCard Request/Upload a Photo page.
