Student IDs and Compliance
Student ID cards are provided to students enrolled in six (6) or more credit hours in a semester. The student ID card admits students to numerous student activities, permits students to check out items in the library, and affords other opportunities limited to currently enrolled students. Students must report to the circle desk in the student union within the first two weeks of classes to obtain a picture ID. Lost or late cards will be assessed a $10.00 processing fee. Community and College IDs may also be issued upon request to those who are not full-time students, and at no charge. Proof of a current address and phone number is required. These IDs are used for the library resources and do provide student activity privileges. False identification, willful refusal to produce the card, and/or to identify one’s self to College personnel, dining hall staff, or security personnel will result in disciplinary action.
