View the BuzzCard Eligibility page to determine the campus constituents that are eligible to receive a BuzzCard. The eligibility page lists the various card types issued and the applicable card fees.

You must have a valid gtID# (Georgia Tech Identifying Number). Your gtID# is a universal number that identifies you throughout the various campus departments, while the BuzzCard is your physical identification card (and more!). The gtID# and the BuzzCard are two separate entities, but are both integral parts of your campus interactions. Before you can be issued a BuzzCard, you must have an assigned gtID#.

Students: Upon admission to the Institute, you are assigned at gtID#, and you are eligible to receive a BuzzCard.

Faculty/Staff/Affiliates: A gtID# Request must be submitted on your behalf by an authorized department administrator or campus sponsor. A BuzzCard cannot be issued without a gtID# Request.

All gtID# Requests are processed by the Card Center within (8) business hours. Your authorized department administrator or campus sponsor will receive an e-mail confirmation once your gtID# Request has been processed.

Proceed to the Card Center to have your picture taken and your card produced. Make certain to bring picture identification such as a driver’s license, passport, or military ID.
