  • Student’s entire head must be within the frame of the photo.
  • A standard color photo; not black & white, opaque or filtered.

Procedure for ID card replacement:

  • Students who wish to obtain an ID card replacement will have to bring a copy of a police report indicating that student ID was stolen.
  • If no police report is provided, the student will have to obtain a “Request for ID Card Replacement” form from the Welcome Center and return the form completely filled out to the Welcome Center. The Welcome Center staff will take this form to the Dean of Enrollment for approval within 5 business days.
  • Please be aware no ID card replacement will be issued if the student does not provide a police report or a “Request for ID Card Replacement” form approved by the Dean of Enrollment.
