The U Card Office is initiating a fee schedule change for services relating to U Cards, the Gopher GOLD Program, department ID cards, and temporary access cards. These changes were approved by the Board of Regents at their June meeting and are detailed below. Specific questions can be addressed to the U Card Office at [email protected] or to your campus U Card Office.
The fee program for the U Card Office was last updated in 2012. The changes being implemented this year are being used to adjust for inflation as well as increased labor and supply costs.
