Eligibility

For people who are not permanent faculty, staff or students on Georgia Tech’s campus, we offer a Visitor/Guest card. People who need to access certain services at GT, but do not hold a traditional position that would qualify for a BuzzCard, can use the Visitor/Guest card instead.

Who may need a Visitor/Guest card (when properly sponsored):

Visiting professors
Visiting scholars
Guest lecturers
Conferees
Temporary employees
Vendors
Contractors (see guidance below)

Pricing

To Obtain an Affiliate BuzzCard

You will need to gather these items:

GTID#
Photo ID (government issued state ID/driver’s license or passport)
Payment (if guest is responsible for payment; credit/debit only)

Before visiting Swarm Support, a Georgia Tech Identification (GTID) number must be generated for the individual. A request must be made by the sponsoring Georgia Tech department through the Office of Human Resources Affiliate Process.

Affiliates and Contractors: Processed through GT Human Resources (includes background screening). HR will be notified once the GTID is active.

The person requesting the contractor service can notify the Contractor that they can visit Swarm Support to take their photo and pick up their BuzzCard during normal business hours. The cost of the Contractor BuzzCard is $30.

The Building Manager will assign and maintain door access privileges to the Contractor BuzzCard, as appropriate. Contact us with questions about obtaining a BuzzCard for your campus guests.
