University ID Card
OFFICIALLY A MONARCH!
One of the most exciting moments for a new student is getting a student ID card. You'll need it to access your residence hall, swipe into classes where professors take attendance, check out library books and attend athletic events. Your ID card carries your door access, meal plan and Flex Points, and can serve as a campus debit card for your Monarch Plus account.
