Q. What’s the difference between a UCID and a Unicard?

A UCID is a unique 8-digit University of Calgary identification number associated with your student and/or staff records. Your UCID can be found on the front of your Unicard under your name. 

The Unicard is the official campus identification and building access card for students, faculty and staff. It also has your library barcode, which enables you to enter through the TFDL turnstiles, and use the library self-checkout machines, hold and reserve kiosks.
