Card eligibility
Current students, faculty, staff, retirees and alumni are eligible for a ONECard. We also issue other card types for affiliates and guests, as well as for those who require ID badges, access cards and cards for departmental use.
Students
UVic students registered in credit courses in the current term are eligible for a UVic ONECard. You must wait at least 24 hours after registering for courses to submit a photo online.
Most continuing studies students are eligible for a ONECard. Those enrolled in community courses, however, are not eligible.
If you are an online or distance student studying from elsewhere in Canada or the USA, we can mail your card for a $20 fee.
Faculty and staff
New faculty/staff usually have to wait until their first pay cheque has been produced before they are able to get a card. Grant-funded employees are eligible for a card as an affiliate.
After creating your NetLink ID, please wait 24 hours and then submit a photo online.
