Having a student ID can provide numerous benefits such as access to professional conferences, discounts on shopping, events, activities and programs. Many businesses offer student discounts for you to receive a reduced or free product or service by showing your student ID. The UGA OneCard is the official University of Georgia identification card for students, faculty, staff, official campus visitors, and their dependents.

UGA Online Students may order the Student UGA OneCard. This ID is the same ID all UGA Students are issued. You may find many merchants who will offer student discounts upon presentation of this Student Identification Card.

You can order your UGA OneCard online. The cost is $30.00. You will upload a photo of your government-issued photo ID and a passport-style headshot photo. Upon approval, you will receive an email with a payment link. After you submit your payment, you must send an email to ugacard@uga.edu with your mailing address so that we will know to ship your card to you.

If your address has changed, please update your records with the UGA Registrar's Office. 

Services that require the photo UGACard may also require assessment of additional student fees that aren’t normally assessed to Online Students, so please check with the service provider you are interested in. Please visit the UGA card website for more information.

The University of Georgia seeks to resolve concerns and complaints in a fair and prompt manner. Before pursuing external options, exhaust all internal avenues of complaint resolution by first visiting the University of Georgia Division of Student Affairs Complaints and Appeals page. Complaints about grades or student conduct should be submitted to the university and may not be appealed to the SARA portal agency. 

More detailed information about the SARA student complaint process can also be found on the NC-SARA website and in the NC-SARA manual.

Complaints should be filed with the SARA State Portal Entity for Georgia unless you are located in CA or MA.
