What is a Griz Card?

The Griz Card is the official University of Montana identification card for students, faculty and staff. It provides easy access to University of Montana resources and packs a wealth of innovative technologies into one powerful and convenient card. Please read the Griz Card Terms and Conditions.

How do I get a Griz Card?

Full or part-time employees of the University are eligible for a Griz Card once hiring information is entered into the Human Resources system. This process takes approximately two weeks after your first day of employment. The Griz Card Center staff will check the HR system to verify your employment status. We cannot issue a Griz Card until you are in the HR system.

If you are not yet entered into the Human Resources system, Griz Card Center staff will attempt to contact HR, however, you may need to contact your HR representative to have the process expedited.

Getting the Card

Come to the Griz Card Center, located on the 1st floor of the University Center. You will need to bring $15 cash, check, Visa or Mastercard for your first card, and a photo ID. Acceptable forms of photo ID include: a Federal or State Government issued identification (ex: driver's license), a passport, military ID, highschool ID, or other government issued photo ID. Griz Card Center personnel will take your photo, and your card will be printed at that time.
