Photo ID Cards for New Students

New undergraduate students (transfer and freshmen) will have their UC Davis student photo ID cards produced during the summer Orientation program. All students may have a UC Davis photo ID card produced starting Sep 18, Monday–Friday, 9:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m., in 12 Mrak Hall. Additional photo ID events are scheduled for Sep 22-23, see UC Davis Photo ID Cards. All students must have a valid driver’s license, or other form of valid photo ID, to have a UC Davis photo ID card produced.

Personal Access Code (PAC)

Your Personal Access Code (PAC) protects your privacy. A PAC is a six-digit code used in combination with the student ID number to provide each student with a unique and confidential “password” to use registration services.

New students are sent a PAC. When you first log on to SISWeb, you are required to change your assigned PAC to a six-digit number of your own choosing.

Remember your PAC and keep it private! You will use your PAC for future registration. You may change your PAC at any time by selecting the Student Records Information menu in SISWeb. If you forget your PAC, you must come in person to the Office of the University Registrar and present a photo ID to obtain the correct number. This information will not be given out over the telephone. Although you cannot enroll in courses before your appointment time, SISWeb is available before your appointment time to change your assigned PAC to a PAC of your own choosing.
