Your UMBC Campus ID
|
The basic role of your UMBC Campus ID (a.k.a.Campus Card or Red Card) is to establish an individual’s identity as a member of the UMBC community. A full range of security measures are in place through the Campus Identity Management System to see that your identity is well protected. Your id is a unique, random, 2 alpha, 5 numeric identifier that is incorporated into the Campus Card database and appears on the face of the UMBC Campus Card. The magnetic strip identifier, which will not be displayed on the card, is also a random multi-digit number unrelated to the user’s Social Security number.
Your campus ID card can be used for social, sporting and cultural events. On the academic side, it is used to validate identity in some testing/exam situations. It facilitates and supports basic activities such as cashing checks at the Campus Bookstore, visiting a friend in the dormitories and using University Health Services. It enables access to many campus events and use of many available services.
To verify if you already have the new ID, you should have the following information printed on the card (see sample images below):
- Full Name
- Campus ID - made up of two letters followed by five numbers; will take the place of SSNs as a unique identifier
- UMBC Status/Affiliation - for example - faculty, staff, or student
- LIMS No - used for Library loan services
