U Card Launches New Website

System

The new system of U Card websites includes campus-specific domains to ensure users are getting the correct information for their campus. Before the change, all information was hosted under the ucard.umn.edu domain name, which is now used only as a landing page and policy library. New system websites are located at:

Twin Cities

The U Card office has launched a redesigned user experience from end-to-end. The new site comes with a few improvements from the older version, including:

  • Updated backend coding using the University of Minnesota's Folwell web theme, ensuring accessibility for all.
  • Revamped navigation system to help users find information faster.
  • Enhanced & revised web copy ensuring content is easily digestible.
  • Interactive directory of Gopher GOLD locations, along with an improved online deposit process.
  • The addition of a troubleshooting guide page to help U Card users solve most issues online, saving them a trip to the U Card Office.

Bookmarks

The U Card Office kindly requests that University departments and vendors check their websites to ensure that links to U Card remain updated, including campus-specific links. This will help us to ensure a seamless user experience as well as to avoid confusion and web browser/redirect errors. Please note when updating links that some pages have moved, been removed, or been added.
