UBCcard Now Available

You may apply for your UBCcard at the UBC Carding Office, located in the UBC Bookstore at 6200 University Blvd as early as today.

Please bring your student number and one original piece of government-issued photo identification for identity verification (passport, driver’s licence, or BC Identification Card). High school identification, student transit cards and photocopies of original documents are NOT valid identification.

To maintain integrity of the UBCcard and the security of UBCcard stakeholders, applicants who cannot provide the required identification documents listed above will not be issued UBCcards.

As a reminder, your multipurpose UBCcard identifies you as a valid UBC student and is mandatory for student verification during exams. It also grants you access to:

  • UBC Library services (book loans, study room bookings)
  • UBC Bookstore e-Money purchases
  • Food Services’ dining convenience and discounts
  • Meal plans for Housing residents
  • Keyless entry to the MBA and David Lam Corridor entrances, MBA Lounge and RHL Breakout Rooms
    *It is your responsibility to ensure that your UBCcard is properly programmed. Card programming can be done in Henry Angus 447 (Office Admin. and Accounts 4th floor)
