GME CrimsonCard Information

CrimsonCard is the official photo ID for all IU campuses and provides access to essential services at the university and associated hospitals.

The process of creating and obtaining your CrimsonCard has been adjusted due to COVID-19 restrictions. 

 

Getting your CrimsonCard

  • Current Resident/Fellow who is changing departments and has a CrimsonCard must continue to use this card. Once COVID-19 restrictions are lifted, an updated CrimsonCard can be obtained in the CrimsonCard office. 
  • New Resident/Fellow who has never had a CrimsonCard must upload a photo.
  • New Resident/Fellow who has a student CrimsonCard must upload a photo.

 

  • You may use your professional headshot or take a photo that meets the requirements. 
  • Once you have your photo, click 'Upload' and login with your University username and passphrase. 
  • For Reason select 'New Employee/Resident/Fellow - Initial Card'
  • For Pickup Location select 'IUPUI - Campus Center 217'
  • Click the 'Provide your photo' box and upload your photo
  • Click the 'Photo being uploaded meets all photo requirements' box only if your photo meets the requirements. If your photo does not meet the requirements, upload a photo a that does.
  • Click 'Continue'
  • Click 'Submit'
  • An email will be sent to your university email informing you your photo has been approved or denied. If denied, a new photo needs to be uploaded.

 

CrimsonCards will be distributed during specific Department/GME orientations. Remember to bring a photo ID such as a driver's license or passport to verify your identity.
