UVic grounds staff work in one of the landscape areas on campus

Welcome to our campus community. The information on this page will familiarize you with everything our extraordinary university has to offer.

Getting set up

As a new employee, you need to complete the UVic Employee Onboarding Checklist. Be sure to complete the UVic Employee Information form as soon as possible.

Once you’ve filled in and returned the employee information form, you’ll receive an email with your employee number and a link to create a NetLink ID. You must have a NetLink ID to set up your UVic email account and payroll.

You should also submit your direct deposit authorization form as soon as possible. You can find this form on the employee onboarding checklist.

Use your NetLink ID to login to the Online tools portal. In the employee services tab, you can access your:

  • pay information: job summary, pay stubs and direct deposit allocation
  • leaves and benefits: benefit statement and leave balances (including sick and vacation entitlements)
  • tax forms: downloadable T4 slips, tax credits and TD1/deductions return forms
  • UVic email
You can also update or change your online name and preferred email address.

Your ID card

The ONECard is your official UVic identification. You can get yours at the ONECard office in the University Centre. You’ll need to bring your UVic V00# and a piece of government-issued photo ID. You can load money onto your ONECard and use it as a debit card across campus. Add funds and manage your balance in MyCard.

New employee orientation

Find information and resources for new employees to help you get started at UVic.

We have additional support and information available for new Indigenous employees.

Orientation for new faculty & librarians

The Office of the Vice-President Academic and Provost, through Faculty Relations and Academic Administration, organizes orientation for new faculty, librarians and academic leaders.

New employee tours

New employee tours give faculty and staff an overview of our campus. If this is your first job at UVic (and even if it’s not), join us to get a better idea of your new workplace and the UVic community.

The UVic employee bus pass program offers monthly Victoria Regional Transit passes at more than 50% off the regular price. Eligible employees can purchase an E-Pass at the Campus Security office near the bus loop.

Parking
