HUSKY CARD

As a UWT Employee, you will need a Husky ID Card. The Husky Card is the official identification card for members of the UW Tacoma community. It provides access to services and opportunities, including campus libraries, and building access.  

Ordering your Husky Card: Click on the Purple banner on the right labeled “Husky Card Upload Portal” to follow the link to where you can request a Husky Card: https://www.tacoma.uw.edu/registrar/husky-id-card#permalink-106765

Picking up your Husky Card: In the form you can choose to either pick up your Husky Card from the Registrar’s office or have it mailed to your address.

*Once you have obtained your Husky Card, please notify me (your name and email) so that I can make sure it has the proper access for you (this will allow you into certain campus buildings if they are locked).

For more information about Husky Cards, see this page: Husky ID Card | Office of the Registrar | University of Washington Tacoma (uw.edu)
