Faculty/Staff ID Policies

To receive a faculty / staff UGACard, your employment status must be reflected in the employee database (the UGA Payroll / Personnel System). Prior to requesting a UGACard, you should check with your supervisor or departmental secretary to be sure all required personnel paperwork has been prepared and routed through the budgetary channels for inclusion in the employee database. 

New Employees

You and your supervisor may complete the following form to obtain your UGACard and the various services associated with it before your status is reflected in the employee database:

New Employee Request for Services form

Student employees are eligible for student IDs, and are therefore ineligible for faculty / staff identification cards.

Faculty/Staff Dependent ID's

A dependent UGACard is issued to spouses and dependent children (under the age of twenty six) of faculty and staff. A Faculty/Staff Dependent ID Request Form must be submitted to the UGACard Office five working days prior to having the ID card made. Request forms are available upon request from the UGACard Office as well as online. In addition to submitting a request form, a faculty or staff member's employment status must be reflected in the employee database for eligibility.  The University offers restricted privileges for dependents with the UGACard.

Faculty and staff may use the online form to apply for a for their dependents. This form, however, must be completed by the faculty/staff member.

Send form to UGACard Office, 309 Tate Student Center, Athens, GA 30602 or fax to 706-542-0070.

Domestic Partners are eligible to receive a UGACard with access to certain UGA services. For more information on the Domestic Partnership Program, call Human Resources at (706) 542-2222 or click here.
