Enjoy working out at the gym as one of many campus services using the CatCard!
Welcome to UC Merced CatCard site
The CatCard is the official UC Merced identification card. All students, faculty and staff affiliated with the University need to carry the CatCard for identification.
The CatCard features a digitized photo, SmartChip and magnetic stripe.
What you need to know...
When you apply for your CatCard, you will need to provide us with your student or employee identification number to verify your status at UC Merced. This information is needed because only students, faculty, staff and some affiliates of UC Merced are eligible to receive a CatCard.
For employees and affiliated, this number will not appear on the face of your CatCard, but it will be encoded electronically on your card, to be used for necessary UC Merced internal purposes only. The number will not be provided to outside entities without your prior consent.
