Getting your DalCard

For Faculty and Staff

Not all faculty and staff automatically get a DalCard. If you are not automatically entitled to a DalCard but need one for building access, your department can request a Courtesy Access DalCard for you.

Monthly-paid faculty and staff

  • Your DalCard should be requested automatically when your payroll forms are submitted to Payroll.
  • Wait a minimum of three business days, up to after your start date to call the DalCard Office to make sure we have received your information. Processing times may vary based on a number of factors. 
  • Upload your photo and government-issued photo ID online to have your card produced. We will send more information by email on getting your card once your photo has been submitted.

Bi-weekly paid

  • On the Payroll Profile form submitted to Payroll, your department must specifically request Courtesy Access for you.
  • Wait a minimum of three business days, up to after your start date to call the DalCard Office to make sure we have received your information. Processing times may vary based on a number of factors. 
  • Upload your photo and government-issued photo ID online to have your card produced. We will send more information by email on getting your card once your photo has been submitted.
