Please ensure all four corners of your government-issued photo ID are showing. Images must be jpg or png.

  • Step 3: Wait for your approval email
    If your photo meets our Ucard requirements, you will receive an approval email to your ontariotechu.net account within 2 to 3 business days. 

    Note: If your online photo submission does not meet our requirements and is rejected, you will receive an email directing you to resubmit a new photo and your government-issued ID.
  • Step 4: Access your Ucard
    Once you have received your approval email, access your digital Ucard through our Ontario Tech Mobile app.

    If you require a physical card to access proximity-enabled rooms on-campus, please submit the appropriate request to the Office of Campus Infrastructure and Sustainability (OCIS).

Student employees

If you are a student and also employed at Ontario Tech University, your Ucard will only reflect one status. The employee (Staff or Faculty) status takes precedence over the Student status.

  1. Physical Ucards are issued with the status on an account at the time of printing. Existing cardholders do not require a new card to reflect status changes.
  2. The physical Ucard is mainly issued for proximity access to rooms, and said access can be enabled on the existing card upon request as outlined in our Office of Campus Infrastructure and Sustainability web page. 
  3. If a new card is required due to loss, theft, damage, or for any other reasons, a $25 replacement fee will apply.
