A MavCARD is an essential part of campus life at UNO, providing access to services, facilities, and more. Follow these steps to get your MavCARD.
Instructions for Obtaining your MavCARD
To recieve a MavCARD, the following steps must be completed:
- Enroll in at least one (1) class
- Complete online Orientation (this is optional, but strongly encouraged)
In-Person Process
To obtain a MavCARD in person, visit the MavCARD Services Office, located on the second floor of the Milo Bail Student Center in Room 216. During peak periods, such as the beginning of the semester, anticipate longer office wait times and plan accordingly.
The office is open Monday through Friday, from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., excluding university recognized holidays.
Be sure to bring a valid photo ID and your University issued NUID number.
Once a person’s information has been verified, a MavCARD will be printed and issued during a person’s visit.
TIP: Submitting a photo a few days in advance through MavCARD GET Online or the MavCARD GET Mobile App (Download for Apple or Android) can help expedite the process.
Important Note: Uploading a photo online does NOT automatically print the card.
Mail and Pick-Up Process
New students should begin by completing the DocuSign process and uploading identification through the MavCARD Services DocuSign Form.
Photos intended for printing on a MavCARD may be uploaded directly through the MavCARD GET Mobile Application. Photos submitted via the app are manually reviewed by staff and may require up to one full business day for processing. All submissions should comply with the MavCARD Photo Guidelines to avoid delays. Uploading a photo online does NOT automatically print the card.
The form allows a choice between picking up the MavCARD in person or having it mailed to a provided address. Processing typically requires 5 to 7 business days. Following all submission instructions and providing complete documentation helps prevent delays.
This form cannot be used to request replacement MavCARDs. All replacement cards are issued on site and are not mailed. Fully remote students seeking replacement should contact unomavcardservices@unomaha.edu for guidance.
Note for Housing Students: MavCARDs are not mailed to incoming residents during the three (3) weeks prior to designated move-in dates. Residents who have not received a MavCARD by the official move-in date may visit the MavCARD Services Office during business hours to pick up the card in person.
