Please check for service outage notifications before travelling to campus.
You must use the QLess system to arrange your visit. Walk ups are not permitted.
New Students
If you are not accessing on-campus resources (Athletics, Library, door access to Residence or labs), you do NOT need to pick up a Campus Card.
The Campus Card Office also provides you with your transit card (U-Pass).
Step 1: Register for Classes
We can only produce your card(s) when you are registered in a current or upcoming term. To avoid disappointment, please also check the transit card (U-Pass) distribution dates.
Step 2: Submit Your Photo
If you already have an approved photo on file, you may NOT use this online submission process. Please visit our office to receive a card with a new photo and pay any applicable replacement fees.
IMPORTANT: using a laptop or desktop for this process will ensure you can complete all steps.
- Check our photo requirements. Use a JPG for best results.
- Sign into the Web Card Centre with your MyCarletonOne credentials.
- Select “My Photo” and “Submit Photo” from the top menu.
Completed your application? Check your Carleton email or the Web Card Centre for important status updates.
New Special Students (i.e. non-degree students) will NOT be able to submit a photo. Please email campuscard@carleton.ca for support.
Step 3: Get your Card(s)
To avoid disappointment, please check the transit card (U-Pass) distribution dates. While our office distributes both cards, we cannot provide your U-Pass early.
Moving in to Residence? You will receive your card(s) in your move-in package as long as you meet all deadlines communicated by Housing.

New Staff and Faculty
Step 1: Check Your Eligibility
- Check your eligibility using Carleton Central –> Employee Services –> CampusCard Availability Check
- Not Eligible?
- Verify that you have completed all documentation with Human Resources.
- Note that not all staff and faculty members are entitled to a Campus Card automatically (ex: casual staff members, contractors). If this applies to you, but you need your card for door access:
- Carleton alumni should Visit the Campus Card Office and request an Alumni card, or
- Complete the Affiliate Application Form and send to CSS_Technical_Services@cunet.carleton.ca.
Step 2: Request your Campus Card
Staff and faculty who are not accessing on-campus resources (Athletics, Library physical materials, door access) do NOT need to pick up a Campus Card.
Unfortunately new staff and faculty are not able to use the photo upload system.
Step 3 (if required): Door Access
Set a PIN. Staff and faculty who will use their card for door access should set a PIN!
- Access the Web Card Centre using your MC1 credentials.
- Select “Set PIN” to create or change your PIN.
Check your Access Privileges. If you require additional access, please contact your Manager (Staff) or Departmental Administrator (Faculty). The Campus Card Office does NOT control access privileges.
