Student ID

Students enrolled in Curriculum and eligible Continuing Education courses are offered student identification (ID) cards through the Student Affairs Office in room 7 of the Student Center. Students seeking a college-issued ID should be prepared to provide government-issued proof of identification, such as a valid driver’s license.

Students are responsible for any additional expenses associated with the verification of student identity. Free “No-Fee IDs” can be obtained from any North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office. For current information regarding fees associated with the issuance of other state identification cards, students should visit www.dmv.org.

Students are strongly encouraged to memorize the student identification number that is listed on their card, as it is frequently re­quested across campus by college navigators/faculty mentors and staff from Student Affairs, The Patriot Hub, the Bookstore, the Library, and the Business Office. Please note that this number is to be used in lieu of a Social Security number, as it is more secure.

Please note the following:

• This official student ID card should be carried by the student at all times on the college campus.
• The card must be presented when requested by college officials or during college activities on and off the college’s premises.
• The card is not transferable to any other person.
• The card may not be altered in any way.
• This card is the property of Isothermal Community College. If found, please return to Student Affairs in room 7 of the Student Center.
• ID cards are made by Student Affairs staff after a student has registered for courses for the current or following semester.

The ID card provides the following for curriculum students who pay the student activity fee:

• Free admission to some activities sponsored by the College
• Acess to the gym during open hours
• Discounts at some local stores, restaurants, and Isothermal Community College Cosmetology, Esthetics, and Massage services
• Limited discounts and access to programming at Gardner-Webb University
• Using it as a valid photo identification card when voting in North Carolina

As of 2023, photo IDs are required when voting in North Carolina. Valid Isothermal Community College Student IDs are recognized by the North Carolina State Board of Elections as approved forms of photo identification. Students should check their student ID expiration date. If enrolled and a new ID is needed, students may request a replacement through Student Affairs, free of charge.
