The UBCcard is your official UBC Okanagan student identification and much more. Use this free, all-in-one card to borrow items from the library or deposit cash on it to purchase food services.

It's your official student identification

The UBCcard is valid for up to four years, or for the duration of your program. If your personal information changes, such as your legal name or student status, you must notify Student Information & Services (University Center main entrance) to request a new card. You will receive it at no cost.

It's your Library card

The UBCcard is your access to UBC Library loans and services. UBC Library loan regulations apply to card use. These regulations are available online at the UBC Library and at all UBC Library locations. UBCcard activation is not immediate. Please allow 24 hours between obtaining your card and using it at the library.

It's your cash card for services

You can deposit cash onto your UBCcard to use towards purchases. To do this, visit the housing office (Nicola Residence) to add cash to your account. Added cash is not transferable between Vancouver and Okanagan campuses.

Lost Cards

Lost cards can be replaced at the Student Info & Services desk (UNC206) for a fee of $25.

Netware accounts

Netware is your account for logging into on-campus computers. Every Netware account starts with a one dollar balance that allows you to print from on-campus computers. When this amount runs out, you can add money onto your Netware account at one of two Pay for Print kiosks. One is inside the Library and the other is at the entrance to the Arts building. You can also use the Pay for Print computer to check your Netware account balance.
