i-card
The i-card is an employee’s official university identification card. The faculty/staff i-card gives an employee access to the library and free rides on the Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District (CU-MTD). An employee’s appointment must be entered into Banner before a faculty/staff i-card will be issued. Employees will need to stay in contact with their departmental HR representative to know when their appointment is in Banner and when they can request an i-card. Information about i-cards and getting an i-card can be found at the i-card website.
