NUR 3165_W Harper: 1. Obtaining your library card or number

Obtaining a UCF Library Card Number

To check out books or other materials from the UCF Library in Orlando, to request articles or books using Interlibrary Loan, you must have a current, active UCF library card number. If you have a UCF student ID card, your library card number is the 14-digit number listed at the bottom front of the card. UCF student ID cards are provided at most UCF campuses. 

The UCF Card Services office previously located in the John T. Washington Center has moved to Knights Plaza. The new office is on East Plaza Drive across from the UCF Arena and North of the Barnes & Noble Bookstore@UCF. Check the web site for hours of operation and additional information: https://ucfcard.ucf.edu/about-the-card/

You can also get a card from the following main and regional campus locations: http://library.ucf.edu/about/departments/regional-campus-libraries/

If you prefer, you can also obtain a UCF student ID card by mail. You will need to send a passport quality photo, a copy of your driver’s license, your UCF PID, and a check for $15.00 to:

If you are unable to visit a campus to get a UCF ID and you are a UCF distance learner, or if you are unable to get a UCF ID, you may request a library ID number. The ID number can be used to access UCF Electronic Resources and other library services. To request a library card number from the UCF Library, fill out the online Library ID Number Request Form (http://library.ucf.edu/Circulation/ID/IDRequestForm.asp)

You can also call the UCF Library Circulation Desk at (407) 823-2580 if you have questions about your UCF card. Activation of the card is no longer necessary.
