Who should have a WESTCONNECT Card?
All registered students, faculty, staff and university affiliates must obtain a WESTCONNECT Card. This includes all part-time, evening and summer students. Department contacts are responsible for contacting the Card office and making appropriate arrangements for visitors, contractors, vendors and other non-University personnel who are authorized to be on University grounds.

ISSUANCE: You will need to bring a valid form of photo identification (driver's license, state identification card, passport) and your course schedule verifying registration for the current semester.

What is the WESTCONNECT Card and Why should I have one?
