Your student ID is issued to you when you arrive on campus. It also serves as a library card, a debit card for campus funds, a meal pass, and how you get into academic and residential buildings.

New Student ID Pick Up

New students! If you submit your own photo by the deadline over the summer, you'll pick up your ID card (along with your room keys) when you check into your residence hall in the fall. We highly recommend you submit your own photo!

If you do not submit your own photo, visit the ID office to have a photo taken and ID printed when you arrive on campus.

Lost your Student ID?

Replace Your ID: If you've lost your ID, a replacement card will be issued for a fee. Visit Campus Safety, located next to the Wriston Gallery/Wriston Turnaround, to request a new ID. 

Request a Temporary Pass: If you lose your card but think you might find it given some time, visit the Campus Safety for a temporary pass. There's no charge for this, but the pass will expire in a few days.
