WeID Card
All UCSF students need a UCSF photo ID card. Students should wear their UCSF ID card at all times on campus. The ID card also will provide access to perimeter and interior doors.
We offer two options for you to obtain your ID card. For your convenience, we strongly recommend that you upload a photo before arriving on campus.
Upload a Photo to Student Portal
You can upload a photo at the "WeID" tab in the student portal. WeID staff will review your photo. You will receive e-mail notifying you if your photo was accepted or if you need to submit a new one. After your photo is accepted, you can visit the WeID office and pick up your card when you arrive on campus.
By uploading your photo, you will save time because you will not need to make an appointment at the WeID office during a busy time of year, and you will avoid lines.
Please follow the instructions on the "WeID" page carefully. The instructions contain important information about photo quality, and the instructions will tell you exactly when you can pick up your card.
Visit WeID Office for Photo
If you would like the WeID office to take your photo:
- You need an appointment. Please follow instructions from your school or program administrator. You may be assigned to a group appointment slot during orientation, or you may need to make an individual appointment;
- Arrive on-time at the WeID location at Parnassus, Mission Bay, or Mission Center Building;
- Present your driver license, passport, or other valid form of identification to WeID staff; and
- Advise WeID staff of any preferred first name that differs from your legal first name.
After taking your photo, WeID staff will show you a preview of your ID card so you can verify spelling of your name. Once the card is satisfactory, WeID staff will print your card and test it. You will be able to use it immediately.
WarnMe
WeID staff will ask you to complete an enrollment form for WarnMe, an emergency message system to notify you of imminent threats to your life or safety. You can save time by registering for WarnMe on-line.
Other Information
Report lost or stolen cards immediately.
ID cards are the property of the University of California. Students must return their ID card when they graduate or end active student status. Please refer to the ID card policy for more details.
