Replacement CatCards

Replacement Cards

Students, faculty and staff receive their first CatCard at no charge. University affiliates must pay a $20 fee for their first CatCard, and can arrange with their sponsoring department to recharge the $20 to that department. Anyone who needs to obtain a replacement CatCard, where the existing card is lost, stolen, damaged, faulty, or if you have changed your name, must pay a $20 fee. Please purchase your replacement card online or at the cashier's office during business hours. Please make sure you save your receipt or confirmation. 

The CatCard office is temporarily close to in-person services due to the COVID19. Once you have paid for the replacement, please email us (catcard@ucmerced.edu) a copy (image) of your payment receipt along with your CatCard ID number and current mailing address. The CatCard office will mail-out your CatCard ID as fast as we can.

If you like to update your CatCard ID photo with your replacement, uploading a new CatCard ID photo is as easy as 1, 2, 3! Click and visit our CatCard Online Photo or Selfie Submission to submit your photo. UCMNet ID is required to log in. You must provide your current mailing address and upload a Government Issued ID or High School Student ID for verification.
