Go to the NCard Office in the Nebraska Union to pick up your card the next day. You must present a government issued ID to claim your NCard.What is the difference between an NUID and an NCard?
Every student and employee has a unique, 8-digit code created when their record is entered into SAP or PeopleSoft/MyRed. This code is the NUID, which is used by many systems on campus to provide services. The NCard is the physical ID card that the student/employee carries to identify themselves as a university student/employee. The NUID is printed on the NCard and is used as the unique identifier for many services.What is Firefly?

Firefly accounts are automatically created for new employees. Benefits-eligible employees will receive a welcome email that includes details of how to log in and use Firefly.What’s the difference between Canvas and MyRED?
