Contractor Information

Contractors must obtain an ID Card for Door Access

A contractor account provides an ID Card, most notably for door access. All contractor employees entering university buildings need a personal William & Mary ID card for door access.  No generic company access cards will be issued. This will associate a specific person with building access, to ensure accurate tracking and building security.  

No Information Technology services are associated with Contractor account!

I am a contractor

1. Find a W&M sponsor - Generally this would be a person from the department you are contracting under.
2. Provide sponsor with your personal information - We need your full legal name, date of birth, home address, phone number, and personal email address.
3. Request Access - Your sponsor will submit a request for a contractor account via Request IT using the affiliate/contractor account form. (See "I am hiring a contractor" for details)
4. Get your ID Card - One full business day after the request is submitted, you can pick-up your ID card in the ID Office of the Campus Center*.   You will have your picture taken and you must also bring in any cards you have used previously so they can be destroyed.

* The ID Office is located in the Campus Center, which is adjacent to Facilities Management and Trinkle Hall, at 104 Jamestown Road.  The ID Office is on the first floor and is open from 8:00am - 5:00pm, Monday - Friday.
