Student Identification Cards
  • Please come to the Library or one of the CVCC Off-Campus centers to have your card made.  New CVCC Student ID/Library Cards will be issued no earlier than three weeks prior to when each semester starts. 
     
  • A form of government-issued photo ID (driver's license, passport, etc.) must be presented.  If you have no photo ID, a birth certificate or Social Security card will be accepted.
     
  • After the information has been verified, your photo will be taken. Those who come to the Library will be able to receive their card after it is made at the circulation desk. Those who have their photo taken at an Off-Campus Center will have to wait several days before the card is made and shipped to the Center.
     
  • There’s no charge for your first ID Card; if you lose your card and need a replacement, the charge is $10.00 (subject to increase).  Replacement cards are only issued to students who are currently enrolled in classes.
     
  • The card is valid only if you are a currently enrolled student.  The expiration date on the card (two years from date of issue) is for replacement purposes only.  If you stop taking CVCC classes, hold onto the card; it will be valid again if you resume taking classes.

NOTE:  When you enroll during or after the three week period, please allow at least twenty-four hours for the library to get your record to make an ID.

These ID’s can be used for GLTC bus service.
