• How to get campus ID cards to distance users
(At some schools, if students are unable to visit
the campus, they may print the ID registration form, complete it, and
mail it with a photocopy of their drivers license to the Circulation Department.
Others schools require DL students to submit a recent portrait-style photo
with the students full name, social security number, and birth date written
on the reverse side with a photocopy of a state-issued photo I.D. (i.e.,
driver’s license) to the Dean of Student Services.)
