Discover the Power of Zotkey

Only approved UCI students, faculty, and staff can access facilities on-site with their smart card or app. Say goodbye to campus lock-outs and hello to a safe and secure learning environment. 

Check out or return library books in minutes or purchase from the bookstore by scanning your smart card.

Parents and students can quickly load a meal plan onto ZotKey. And if the plan’s not quite right, it’s easy to swap it out or top it up.

Live on-campus? Commuter student? Our new smart card makes it easy to access UCI's sustainable transport. On-campus shuttles and OC bus included.

Make quick, contactless payments for school essentials like notebooks or pay for on-site computer repairs with mag stripe and tap technology.

Keen to catch a game or see the latest Shakespeare production? Use your ZotKey to buy tickets for all UCI sports, theater performances, concerts, movie screenings, and more.
