Our office partners with many graduate departments to coordinate ID card distribution for graduate students.
Graduate students - please first contact your graduate coordinator (or review any communication that they send) to find out if your department is one that has partnered with our office. If so, your department will pick-up all ID cards from our office and then distribute them to students. In this scenario, you do not need to request your ID card from our office.
If your department has chosen not to partner with our office, then you can fill out an ID Card Request Form to request your first ID card.
Note: Visiting graduate students may qualify for an Affiliate ID Card.
