ID Office Operations and Hours

ID OFFICE OPERATIONS AND HOURS

The ID Office is located in NAC 1/205.  We will be open with limited services to persons pre-authorized to be on campus on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.  We will be closed for ½ hour each day so the single staff member assigned can take a meal break.

ID Cards will be created from information sent to us via Email and the ID Cards will be printed and sent to the recipient via the US Postal Services (see below for the procedure). 

We will only serve in person those pre-authorized to be on campus for other functions. These services include issuing ID Cards and handing out validation stickers. Validation stickers will be available in the ID office (see hours above) or in the Public Safety Office, NAC 4/201, weekdays from 10 AM to 3:00 PM.  Again, in person services will only be available to those pre-authorized to be on campus already.  We all need to stay safe so you MUST wear a protective mask and maintain a minimum distance of 6 feet between people.
Students
may use their existing ID card at the College if it has an expired Spring 2020 validation sticker.
