STEPS

• STEP 1: Have a UNIT Authorized Signer fill out the online form the students first day of clinical. They should have available their UMID and UNIQNAME for entry.
• STEP 2: Go down to get MCARD ID with your student. All non-employee students must pay $6.00 at the Cashier’s Office to obtain their NEW MCARD ID.

• The fee must be paid by cash or check payable to the health system.
• Please go to the Cashier’s Office on LEVEL 2 of the hospital (in the main hallway east of the Gift Shop) with your preceptor/unit authorized signer to pay the fee before proceeding to the Key ID Office.
• The Key ID Office will not process the ID Badge without proof of payment. You will also need your driver’s license or another form of picture identification.
• NOTE: There's a $20.00 fee to replace any damaged or lost IDs.

ACCESS INFORMATION

Access to clinical units is meant to be on clinical days and times as planned in your curriculum. Should you need to return to the unit for other clinical purposes, this should be cleared with the corresponding clinical faculty for the course. If you are visiting someone on the unit, you need to request admittance to the unit using the visitation policy for that unit, including the standards for locked units. Please remember that issues related to HIPAA and safety as well as other considerations may be involved.

PARKING

A signed parking form is not required to obtain an ORANGE parking permit. Parking Services maintains a list of current students. Parking in visitor lots is NOT permitted. It's only permitted on your first day to get your parking tag (Parking Structure P2 and P3). Parking and Transportation Services has opened a Customer Services Office in UH South. Hours of operations are Monday thru Friday, 7:30 am-3:45 pm.

At this location, you can...

1. Purchase a parking permit (if it isn’t otherwise available on the PTS website)
2. Exchange a parking permit
3. Pick-up PTS literature (parking maps, bus routes/schedules, etc.)
4. Ask questions regarding parking options and transit services.

Additional information regarding ORANGE student parking can be found on the Parking website at https://ltp.umich.edu/parking/permit-parking/student-orange/.
