About the HawkCard

The HawkCard is your key to University of Maryland Eastern Shore campus life and a flexible tool for managing your money. As your official UMES identification card, the HawkCard gives you access to food, facilities, services, events, fun, and more!

All students, faculty, staff, and affiliates are required to carry their HawkCard while on the campus. The HawkCard is yours to use. However, it does remain the property of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. It is not transferable under any circumstances and should not be used by another individual.

It all begins with your photo! Log into your UMES OneWeb through the MyUMES Portal and clicking the UMES Hawkcard button. Then select ACCOUNT, then select UPLOAD PHOTO.
