How to get your SandDollar$ ID Card

The SandDollar$ ID Card is the university's identification card issued to students, faculty, staff, and partnered affiliates. It is a photo ID used for various purposes, including building access, entry to on-campus events, meal memberships, and dining dollars.

A government-issued photo ID must be presented to obtain your SandDollar$ ID Card. These include a driver's license, a passport, a military ID, or a state-issued ID card.

First-year students will receive their SandDollar$ ID Card by completing a New Student Orientation session. Once the session is complete, students can submit a photo online. Terms and Conditions for the SandDollar$ card must be accepted first before the student can submit their photo.

Students who do not submit a photo online can come in person to the SandDollar Services office to have their photo taken.
