Visitors will be eligible to receive a University Visitor ID card after the completed appointment form has been entered into Pitt Worx and the information appears in the University’s CDS. Please note that it will take on average 2-5 working days from the time that an appointment form is received until an ID card can be generated. Factors that may extend this time frame include accuracy of appointment form information and volume from other University areas requesting University ID cards. Once the Visitor arrives on campus, you should instruct him or her to visit a Panther Central ID center to obtain his/her ID after the host department or school verifies that the visitor’s information appears in the University’s CDS.
The University Visitor ID will allow broad access to most fitness facilities, University libraries, and other University buildings that allow for common access. If your department or school wishes to allow for greater access to approved laboratories, clinical space, or key card facilities, you will need to follow your internal procedures for granting additional levels of access.
