UCard
The UCard is your official UMass Amherst campus picture identification card. It functions as an on-campus debit card (you can use it to pay for printer use at the library), a 5-College library card, a PVTA bus pass, a UMass recreational facilities access card (if you buy a gym membership), and as a key for some buildings (door access for some buildings needs to be set up separately through Physical Plant via Departmental request).
To get your UCard, you must be an active student and have a record in SPIRE and in the UCARD system before you visit the UCard Office. Students must be term-activated and must have registered for classes for credit. There is a fee associated with obtaining an UCard that is included in your entrance fees/Bursar's bill. There are additional fees to replace if lost, stolen, or damaged.
