Gator 1

Your official student ID card is known as Gator 1. All enrolled students, faculty and staff must have a Gator 1 card, as it includes your picture, your UFID number and your affiliation to the university. You should keep it with you at all times.

Gator 1 is used

  • to access CIRCA computer labs and all university libraries.
  • to enter student recreation centers and other recreation facilities and intramural sports activities.
  • to purchase tickets to university events, such as football games, Gator Growl, plays and concerts.
  • as an ATM/debit card when activated by certain banks.
  • with Gator Dining accounts to purchase food at any campus location.
  • with a prepaid vending account for select vending machines and laundry facilities in residence halls.
  • to buy textbooks at the UF Bookstore if you are in the Textbook Deferred Payment Program.

  • Go to the ID Card Services office in the Reitz Union,
  • Bring a photo ID (driver's license, military ID or passport),
