The RUconnection Card is the official photo identification card issued to students and guests on all Rutgers University campuses. This unified photo ID card serves as the primary form of identity verification throughout the university.
Based on your role within the Rutgers University community, the RUconnection Card may be used to access services including:
- Checkout privileges at any of the Rutgers University libraries
- Access to recreation centers and computer lab facilities
- Entry to football games and other events
- Access to purchased meal plans and debit account options
- Access to assigned housing and other buildings
- Identification for transactions with the university cashier and registrar
- Attendance verification for classes and exams
New students must visit an RUconnection Card office to be photographed for student identification cards. Information on locations, hours of operation, card benefits, and replacing lost or stolen cards may be obtained at the RUconnection website.
