Student ID

Obtaining a FREE student ID card  is a very worthwhile pursuit as it can be used to access specific buildings (Cook-DeVos Center for Health Sciences), to board  RAPID transit buses without charge, for purchasing academically-packaged and discounted software, free admittance into athletic events, and discounted student rates for other university and non-university activities, including almost seventy area businesses and attractions!

Visit the Student Assistance Center (or other designated area) to request your ID and to be photographed. Student Assistance Center offices are located on the first floor of Student Services Building (Allendale Campus) and the DeVos Center Plaza (Pew Grand Rapids Campus).
