Identification is required on the School of Medicine campus for institutional identity, promoting safety for all university community members, and obtaining certain special services and privileges.
WUSM Protective Services issues identification badges to all faculty, staff, students, and selected contract employees.
All university community members must display their badges in a visible place and above the waistline (i.e., on the shirt pocket or shirt collar) to always identify themselves and their association with the university while on campus or the premises of the university-owned or leased space. The employee should produce it upon request by Protective Services or any other university/medical school official.
For more information, please review the Washington University ID policy.
