The University ID Card serves as your main form of identification while on Grounds. Your card will provide access to various resources at the university based on your role and relationship to the university and health system. 

ID Card Care: Do not bend, puncture, or poke a hole in the ID card. If using a wireless phone charger, do not leave your ID card between the phone and the charger. This can damage the card, making it unusable and resulting in the need to purchase a replacement card.

The Cavalier Card Office is open by appointment only.  The Cavalier Card Office is located in the Observatory Hill Dining Hall at 525 McCormick Road. Parking is available using the ParkMobile app.
