Student Identification Cards

All full-time Carthage students receive a photo identity card for use on campus. This card is required to gain entry to the residence halls and dining room, to charge textbooks at the beginning of each term, to register for classes, to check-out materials at the library, and to cash checks on campus. This photo "ID" is provided free of charge at the beginning of each student's college career, with a $15.00 fee to replace lost cards. This permanent card is much like a credit card as it is magnetically encoded with the student's "ID" number and can be read electronically by scanners at the dining room and residence hall entrances. Only authorized students are admitted into these areas.
