Student ID Cards

Students must have a valid and current Student ID card to check out a laptop.

Student ID Cards with photos on them can be used to check out laptops.  In this case, it is not necessary to have an additional photo ID like a driver's license to check out laptops.

Student ID Cards without photos require an additional official photo ID (driver's license, passport, state ID) to check out a laptop. A smartphone image of a driver's license or state ID is acceptable as a photo ID, along with the Student ID Card.
