Campus Identification Cards

All members of the University of California, Hastings College of the Law community must carry with them at all times their UC Hastings-issued photo ID card. Your ID card must be displayed at all times while on campus, and shown upon entry to any of UC Hastings campus buildings.

Card Issuance

You must have a form of government-issued photo identification in order to be issued a campus photo ID. The following government issued photo IDs will meet this requirement:

  • Valid passport
  • State issued driver’s license
  • State issued identification card
  • Alternatively, you can obtain verification of identity using a form from the UC Hastings Records Office or Human Resources office.

Students

Always carry your UC Hastings photo ID while on campus. You will need your UC Hastings photo ID to check out books at the UC Hastings Library. Your card gives you access to the Computer Lab in the Law Library, the bike cage in front of 200 McAllister Street, and other services throughout the campus. You will need your UC Hastings photo ID in the evening and on weekends to enter campus buildings, when access is restricted to non UC Hastings community members.

Cards must be presented in any of the campus buildings upon request by UC Hastings officials.

Card Use and Access of Campus Facilities

The UC Hastings photo ID is a proximity card, equipped with a device that electronically communicates with access readers by placing the card near a reader. When you hear a “beep,” the reader displays a green light, access is granted, and you may proceed.

  • Hyde Street entrance doors to 198 McAllister Street (Authorized Access Only);
  • UC Hastings Tower entrance at 100 McAllister Street;
  • Front doors of 200 McAllister Street;
  • Student Bicycle Rack at 200 McAllister Street;
  • Law Library computer lab;
  • Business Center in 200 McAllister Street;
  • Printing and Copying Stations around campus; and
