If you have a Wiscard, the Campus ID number is the number below your photo. In the image below, the Campus ID number of Bucky Badger is 0123456789.

In cases where students forget their Campus ID number and need to reset their NetID / Microsoft 365 email password, they can log into MyUW and recover it. They should then click on the application called "Student Center." On the Student Center homepage they should click the box entitled "Academic Records". Then in the left column select "View My Unofficial Transcript". After selecting they will be prompted to select a report type; this type should be "Unofficial Transcript". When the selection is done loading the student should click on the file with the present date. After doing so the student should be able to see their Campus ID/ Wiscard Number bolded in the top left.

Students can also access their Campus ID number by accessing their DARS in the Course Search and Enroll App after logging into their MyUW page. For detailed steps on how to access your DARS see DARS/Students - Start the DARS audit request process (wisc.edu) for more details.
