ID and Accounts

Husky Card ID

The Husky Card is the official identification card for members of the UW community. It provides access to a variety of services and opportunities, including access to campus libraries and public transportation. You may not be able to get your Husky card until the first work day of employment (Mon, 7/1). We are trying to resolve that but more will be revealed. We will escort you to the UWMC office on the first day of orientation to get your card and badge if you don’t have it already.

​NOTE: Call before you go to make sure you are in their system, etc!

You must bring with you or send via email if orienatation if on zoom:

    • State or federal photo ID
    • Your EID (located in Workday), or you may contact the Internship Office (206-543-7576) for the number.

You may obtain your UW ID (Husky card) at the following locations on campus:

    • UWMC – Public Safety Office, BB 120, M-F, 7:00 – 4:30 206-598-4909 (across from the Plaza Cafe just east of the BB Tower elevators)
    • HMC – Photo ID/Parking Office, 8CT 70, M-F, 7:00 – 4:30 206-744-3254 (across from the Center elevators in the main hospital)
    • Odegaard Undergraduate Library (OUGL), ground floor, M-F, 8:00-5:00, 206-543-7222

U-PASS with Transit Powered by ORCA

Transportation Services – Please contact Transportation Services first to make sure you’re in their system.

Once you obtain your Husky card, you may choose transportation options from Transportation Services:

  • U-PASS (bus + pass, a smart chip in your Husky ID card), everything you need to know about your U-PASS.
    • If you wish to purchase earlier than July 1, you may purchase online a few days ahead of your start date. This option is for payroll deduction ONLY. Please note that you will be charged on a pro-rated basis if you sign up early, starting the day you sign up. Still cheaper than the bus fare.
    • The U-PASS will not be active until 24 – 48 hours after purchase, and must be activated within 60 days of purchase. To finalize the activation of your U-PASS for use on transit, you must tap your card on an ORCA card reader on the bus or in the tunnels within 60 days of U-PASS issuance.
    • Currently, the cost of your U-PASS is $25/pay period ($50/mo). Rumor has it that July 1st all employees will receive a U-PASS at no cost but check back to verify.
