ID Center

​Your Mountain Cat Card, also known as your student ID, is the tool that every student, faculty, and staff member needs on their first day to access essential campus services. Your Mountain Cat Card is programmed to give you access to your residence hall, meal plan, and other campus facilities. 

The Pitt-Johnstown ID Center is located in Room 151 of the Student Union. In addition to Mountain Cat Cards, the center also generates badges for security purposes to employees who work in varying locations and to outside contractors authorized to work on campus.

The Mountain Cat Card serves as a means for students to access meal plans and their campus residence hall. Students may add funds to their individual Mountain Cat Cash account at the Business Office, 125 Blackington Hall. Mountain Cat Cash is used for making purchases at all campus eating venues and at the Bookstore.

Do not punch any holes in your ID card as it may cause the card to malfunction. Lost ID cards should be reported to the ID Center immediately. See information below on how to request a replacement card. 

First-Year and New Student ID Cards

Self-Service ID Card Photo Upload (Faculty / Staff / Students)

The Pitt-Johnstown ID center uses an online photo submission process.  This process offers a quick and easy means for you to submit your personal photo which will then be used to produce your Pitt-Johnstown Mountain Cat ID card. 

For additional information, and to upload your photo, please contact the ID Center at UPJID@pitt.edu.

Once your submitted photo has been accepted, a confirmation email message will be sent to you.  Thereafter, at a later date, you will be notified via Pitt email as to how and when you will obtain your new Pitt-Johnstown Mountain Cat ID card. ID cards for new students are produced closer to the start of the term during which they will begin their studies.  

For more information or if you have any questions, please submit your inquiries to upjid@pitt.edu.

How and when do I get my ID card?

Incoming first-year or transfer students residing on campus will pick up their ID cards at Residence Hall check-in. Students commuting to campus can pick up their ID cards at commuter orientation. Commuter students who do not attend commuter orientation can pick up their ID card in the ID Center starting the first day of class during regular business hours. Faculty and staff will receive an email once their ID is ready for pickup in the ID Center.
