All ID cards are the property of the University of Virginia and are provided for appropriate use for identification and access to services. The card itself and the card's privileges are not transferable. The card is valid as long as the holder continues their specific affiliation with the University of Virginia. Any misuse, alteration, or fabrication of the card will subject the holder to disciplinary action by the University. The University Judiciary Committee has responsibility for adjudicating complaints alleging student misuse of a University ID card in relation to University events or services.

University of Virginia students, employees, special program participants and individuals affiliated with the University of Virginia are eligible to obtain a University ID card as described below.

Note: University of Virginia Medical Center, School of Medicine, and School of Nursing employees required to have a UVa Health System ID Badge should obtain one from the UVa Health System Technical Services Office. Medical Center employees are covered under ACC-001: Health System Identification Badges.
