Ontario Tech Ucard
The Ontario Tech Ucard is one of the most important pieces of identification (ID) that students, faculty and staff have. It identifies you as a member of the Ontario Tech community, and gives you access to various facilities, resources and services, both on- and off-campus.
As a student, your physical and/or your digital Ucard can also be used as identification during mid-terms, exams, etc. Note: Your photo must be uploaded and approved before using your digital Ucard as identification for mid-terms and examinations. Digital Ucards without a corresponding photo will not be accepted. To upload your photo, visit our Ucard photo upload requirements web page.
If you do not have your Ucard, your valid government-issued ID will be accepted. For more information on our examination policy in relation to your Ucard, visit our Procedures for Final Examination Administration web page.
If you are new to our campus community, picture yourself on our Ucard. Visit our How to get a Ucard web page for more information.
Important changes for the 2021/2022 academic year!
- Students, faculty and staff with an approved photo on file can now access their digital Ucard through our Ontario Tech mobile app. If you have not yet downloaded the app, search for Ontario Tech Mobile in your device's app store.
- Ucards will now be issued to new students on a one-time basis. Your credentials will be valid for the duration of your program at Ontario Tech.
- Returning students with a physical Ucard are no longer required to update their card annually. Instead, you must retain your existing physical card or access your digital Ucard for future use.
- The U-Pass fee will be charged for the 2021/2022 academic year. The U-Pass is no longer part of the Ucard and is now issued digitally through the PRESTO E-Tickets app.
