Waterloo students are required to have a WatCard when writing exams and for accessing online resources, including the library resources.
Students who can, should come to the WatCard office to have a photo WatCard created.
We realize that not all students can come to campus, so students that are fully online can request a PDF version of their WatCard information to be emailed to their university email address. The PDF contains your name, ID number, and library barcode but does not have a photo, and cannot be used to access in-person services. It is intended for use by students who will not physically be on campus.
Online only students who have lost their WatCard can request a new card by submitting an online student replacement WatCard form.
