Specialty Cards - Contractor, Visitor and VIP

New Contractor or Visitor Cards.

The ACCESS Office issues cards for contractors and visitors providing services to the University. Visitor cards are provided to those not being paid by the University; contractor cards are provided to those working through an outside agency or as an independent contractor.

Departments should use the Specialty ACCESS Card Request Form to request new contractor or visitor cards. Once ACCESS has confirmed via email that the credential has been created, new visitors or contractors must schedule an appointment with the ACCESS Office during business hours to have their image taken. As before, visitors or contractors need to verify ID with a US government issued photo ID or passport. Pictures of an ID card are not accepted.

Contractor or Visitor Card Renewals

Departments should contact the ACCESS Office via email with a list of returning contactors or visitors. We will coordinate with you to arrange card printing, encoding and pick up to avoid interruption of access. 

Contractor and visitor cards expire at the end of work on campus or on June 30th of the current fiscal year. The card expiration date is printed on the face of the card; if work will be extended beyond this date, the University department responsible for the contractor or visitor must email the ACCESS Office requesting card renewal.  The cost per card and per renewal is $20. 

Department VIP Cards

Campus departments may purchase a VIP card which can function as a door key by using the same link above. These cards are $20 and valid for one academic year only.
