Students, faculty, staff, and some Designated Campus Colleagues (DCCs) of the University of Arizona are eligible to receive a CatCard. To obtain your CatCard, bring the following items to the CatCard Office:
- A government or state issued photograph identification such as a driver's license, state identification card, or passport. A high school issued ID is not an acceptable form of identification.
- A completed and signed Terms and Conditions form
- Student or employee ID number
Note: Student and employee ID numbers will not appear on the face of your CatCard, but will be encoded electronically to be used for University internal purposes only. The number will not be provided to outside entities without your prior consent.

Changes to Your CatCard
Changes to the CatCard (e.g., name, University ID number, ISO number, Status) can be made for free of charge when the current CatCard is turned in. If the current CatCard cannot be turned in, the employee will be charged a replacement fee of $25.
Cardholders electing to update their CatCard due to a preferred name change are allowed only one fee exception when turning in previous card. All subsequent name changes will be charged the $25 replacement fee, whether the current card is returned or not.
