Please carry your PointCard with you when on a UWSP campus. Prior to obtaining a Faculty/Staff PointCard, the staff member must be in DIMS for 24-48 hours. Your initial PointCard is provided without charge. Please note that replacing a lost PointCard will cost your department $20.

Do not share your card. You are liable for all activities authorized by your card.
