Keys to success for Orientation Day
Submit an approved photo and government ID by the photo deadline
It is very important to submit an approved photo by the photo deadline so your card is ready for you on Orientation Day. Save yourself time and submit an approved photo as early as possible.
Photo deadlines per term and upload instructions can be found on the Submit your Photo page. We also encourage everyone to review the Be Ready With Your Valid Government ID page to understand what we are looking for when we verify your identity.
New & Transfer Undergrads
If I show up early, can I pick my card up before Orientation?
Only students who are on a pre-approved pre-orientation move-in list with Housing are eligible to receive their card early. If you are not on that list, then you will have to wait to pick up your card when you receive an email with pickup instructions.
Returning Undergrads from Leave of Absence
Students who are returning to campus after a leave of absence and still have their ZAGCARD will be able to continue using their current card. For those who are coming back from an extended leave of absence and no longer have a ZAGCARD, fill out the previous student ZAGCARD request form.
Law School
Law students starting in the summer: We will email Law School students who are enrolled for summer law classes approximately two weeks before the start of term (if there is an approved photo on file). The email will communicate instructions for receiving their ZAGCARD.
Law School students starting in the fall: We will deliver the ZAGCARDs to the Law School where they will distribute the cards to the new students at the Law School orientation. It is very important that you upload an approved photo and government ID by the photo deadline date so your ZAGCARD is ready for you. Photo deadlines per term and upload instructions can be found on the Submit your Photo page.
New law school students that were attending Gonzaga as an undergrad and already have a ZAGCARD may continue to use their current card. If you no longer have your current card and are new to the Law School program, fill out the previous student ZAGCARD request form.
Main Campus Grad Student
Main campus grad students will need their card to access secured doors. You will be emailed pick up instructions approximately one week before the start of term (if you have an approved photo on file).
New grad students who were attending Gonzaga as an undergrad and already have a ZAGCARD may continue to use their current card. If you no longer have your current card and are a new grad student, fill out the previous student ZAGCARD request form.
