ODU & EVMS ID Cards/Badges – FAQ
Yes. Faculty, Staff and Students whose primary campus is EVMS are still required to have an EVMS (Virginia Health Sciences) ID card. If you have an existing EVMS badge it is still valid, you do not need to get a new card. ID badges created after June 26, 2024, will have the new Virginia Health Sciences logo.
Faculty, Staff and Students whose primary campus is EVMS will continue to use the same process as before the merger.
Faculty and Staff whose primary campus is ODU are eligible for an EVMS ID badge for frequent visits to the EVMS campus. The EVMS Badge and Electronic Access Request form can be found here.

Please be aware that only one ODU ID can be active.
