ID Cards

Your ID card gets you into Evergreen, keeps track of your meal plan, and can even get you discounts around town.

How to Request a Student ID Card

Request your student ID card with the Registration and Records office via My Evergreen. Have current valid picture ID, like a driver's license, state ID, military ID, or passport available.

  1. Login to My Evergreen
  2. Select "Profile"
  3. Under "Settings", Select "Photo ID"

You will be given instructions in the form for obtaining your student ID card. You can request your card 30 days before the quarter when you start classes. (State employees using tuition benefits and students using the 60+ tuition waiver do not get ID cards.)

Important: ID cards will be distributed according to the information provided when making your request.

Tacoma Students

Get your ID picture taken in Tacoma and we'll send it to Olympia for processing. Then you'll be able to pick it up in Tacoma. Quarterly validation stickers are available in Tacoma too.

Validation Stickers
Quarterly verification of student status

Each quarter you’ll need to get a validation sticker to go on your student ID. This sticker is your proof of student status.

Starting one week before the quarter, you can get your sticker either at Registration or at Student Accounts.

Bring your ID card to the window. We’ll check that you're registered for classes. (Just being on a waitlist doesn't count as registered.) After the quarter starts, we'll also check to make sure you've paid tuition.

If you aren't paying student fees, then you don't get a validation sticker. Typically, this applies to student traveling abroad, college or state employees using benefits, or students using the 60+ tuition waiver.

Student ID Benefits

  • Free use of the Costantino Recreation Center (CRC) (requires current validation sticker)
  • Check out CRC recreational equipment
  • Check out Media Loan equipment
  • Faster checkout at the Library
  • Discounts for some campus events
  • If you have a meal plan, it's your meal card
  • If you live in housing, it's your elevator key
  • Student discounts at lots of off-campus businesses including Orca Books, movie theaters and more (may require validation sticker)

Replacement Student ID Cards

If you lose or destroy your card, it's okay. We can get you a replacement for a fee, and you can even use your old picture if you liked it.

First, make the payment for a replacement card through My Evergreen:

  1. Login to My Evergreen
  2. Click "Web Payment" 
  3. Pay the $25 fee under "Student Account Payment""

Then, contact Registration and Records with your receipt. We can use your old photo or have you submit a new one. You'll get a new card right away.
