Identification (ID) Cards

All medical students are issued a UCLA Health Bruincard. Please note that medical student badges are printed without any previous degrees included. Badges must be worn at all times on campus and in all clinical settings.

Card Issues

  • If your UCLA BruinCard is not working, please be sure to check your BruinBill to make sure your fees are paid.  An outstanding balance will prevent you from having access to University buildings and services.
  • If you are experiencing issues with Proximity Card Access in UCLA Medical Centers or Geffen Hall, contact Prox Card Access with your name, title, UID#, Prox#, Expected Graduation Date, and access you are requesting.
  • If you are experiencing issues with access to CHS or the outer doors to the LRC, contact DGSOM Building Operations with your name, title, UID#, Prox#, and Expected Graduation Date.
  • If you are experiencing issues with access to the Biomedical Library or the Graduate Reading Room, contact Daniel Contreras with your name, title, UID#, Prox#, and Expected Graduation Date.
  • If you are experiencing issues with access to Linen Services and Scrub Machines in UCLA Medical Centers, contact Materials Management or your clerkship coordinator for assistance.
  • Access to the Wooden Center and other Recreation Facilities should be automatic when your fees have been paid. If your card is not working in one of these locations, contact the Student Affairs Office for further assistance. 
  • If you have lost your ID card, contact DGSOM Compliance so that a form can be prepared for you. You will need to take the form to the Cashier’s Office in Ronald Reagan and pay the $23.50, and then take the receipt to the Photo ID Office, B8-153 Semel.  Their hours are 8:30am-11:30am and 1:00pm-4:00pm on Monday through Thursday, and only 8:30am-11:30am on Fridays.
