COVID-19                         

If you WILL be on campus, your EID will be upgraded when you visit the ID Center to acquire your ID Card.

If you will NOT be on campus (and therefore will not need a UT ID Card), you may submit your request below and an ID Center representative will contact you to schedule a video call appointment and obtain your signature on the EID Agreement form using DocuSign.

Before requesting an upgrade, please verify whether your EID is already upgraded by visiting the EID Self-Help Tools and selecting "Upgrade my EID".

Upgrade Eligibility
