How-to: Obtain AggieAccess credentials

What to do if you did not receive credentials for your building

Email invitations for AggieAccess HID mobile credentials are sent to users once they require entry to a location secured by AggieAccess. If you did not respond to or receive the initial emails, please follow the instructions below as soon as possible to allow enough time to send a new mobile credential or print a new card. 

What do I do if...

  • I never received an email invitation?

Check your UC Davis inbox for an email with the subject line: "IMPORTANT - Welcome to UC Davis AggieAccess Mobile Credentials!", inviting you to activate your AggieAccess mobile credential. If you never received an email, check with your Key Control Manager to make sure they have your information and know you need access.  If you do not know who your Key Control Manager is ask your department, supervisor, or PI.

  • I got a new phone?

If you get a new phone,  you will need a new invitation to download your mobile credentials. Your initial invitation will no longer work once it's been activated on a different device.
If you're a student: Fill out and submit our  Request AggieAccess Credentials form.
