Wiscard is your official UW-Madison identification card that you can obtain at the Wiscard Office. It provides access to libraries, recreation facilities and other campus services. The Wiscard Account can also be used at over 60 locations across campus, including The University Book Store, to purchase meals and snacks, textbooks, school supplies, computer accessories and much more. Wiscard is safer than cash, fast, convenient, and saves students money with a 5% discount on campus dining purchases. Additionally, University Housing residents will save 30% on prepared food items and 20% on pre-packaged food items in University Housing dining locations instead of the 5% discount. Beyond the initial deposit, you decide how much money to keep in your account. Wiscard can be a primary meal account or used just to cover lunches, snacks and occasional purchases while you’re on campus.

Your first University ID card is issued to you at no cost. This card is valid throughout your entire academic and/or employment career at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. A replacement card can be issued at no cost (see website for details) as long as you surrender your current valid ID at the time the new card is issued. Lost cards can be replaced for a $25 fee. Payment can be made by cash, check, or credit card.

Students, faculty, and staff who need a new or replacement ID card must present some form of personal photo identification such as a valid driver's license, passport, state or federal ID. Any ID card that is found should be immediately forwarded to the Wiscard Office at Union South. Anyone looking for a lost card can call the office to see if the card has been turned in or suspend a lost card.

The photo ID card is the property of UW-Madison, is non-transferable, and does not guarantee current university status. Fraudulent use or reproduction of a UW-Madison ID card violates Wisconsin criminal statutes and will be referred for prosecution.

A Wiscard is only needed to access in-person campus services. There is no need to replace your Wiscard if you are working remotely. An expired Wiscard will NOT affect your NetID and a new ID can be obtained when you return to campus.
