How do I get my student ID?
Student ID cards can be obtained in the Security office on any Campus, except Downtown Campus, once you have registered and paid for your classes. Downtown Campus (DTC) students obtain student ID cards at Card Services Downtown located in the Communication and Media Building near the front lobby. The first student ID card is free. Replacement fee is $5 at all campuses except DTC which has a $15 fee. You will need your student ID card to access campus services such as the Library and Testing Center.

IMPORTANT
After the first week of school, please consult with your school counselor before dropping a course.
Withdrawing from one course will result in a "W" on your college transcript. This can effect financial aid in the future. If you drop from a second course, you will be withdrawn from the dual enrollment program at the end of the semester, and you will not be allowed to take any dual enrollment classes in the future.
Step 10: Attend Classes!
Print a copy of your student detail schedule for yourself or take a picture of it. Be sure you know what days your classes begin and end, the campus location, building location, and the days and time you have classes. If you miss classes on the first day, you can be dropped from the class. Be sure you know the class attendance policy.
