Your UCF ID Card serves as both your residential community and room access key. First Time in College (FTIC) or Transfer students will receive their UCF Cards during their scheduled Orientation date. It is crucial to have your UCF ID Card before your scheduled move-in appointment as it will be required for check-in at your community office for proper encoding. If you do not receive your UCF Card at Orientation, we recommend visiting Card Services during their operating hours to obtain your card prior to your scheduled Housing check-in. You can find Card Services’ regular hours of operation and contact info on this page.
