IMPORTANT NOTE: New Students will pick up their MSU ID card during orientation check-in. Students who do not receive their MSU ID or who were unable to submit a successful ID photo prior to the Orientation deadline (5 p.m. the day prior to your Orientation Session) may have their ID card made in the Old Main Ballroom on the second floor of the Colvard Student Union during the allotted time frame for Orientation check-in. If you arrive after Orientation check-in ends, you may pick up your MSU ID at the Dawg House (across from the Food Court in the Colvard Student Union) until 4:00 p.m. of the closing day of Orientation. Students who do not receive their MSU ID during Orientation may pick it up in the Campus Card Office, 108 Allen Hall, during regular office hours (Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.) or, if the Student plans to live in Campus Housing, they may pick it up on Move-in day at the Campus Card Office table in their assigned Housing Check-in location. If you are an Online Student, your MSU ID will be mailed to you by the Distance Education Center via U.S. mail to the mailing address listed for you in Banner, but only after you have enrolled in classes.
Please be advised that your MSU ID card is required for residence hall check-in, class attendance, and access to numerous university services. Lost or damaged MSU ID cards are subject to a $50 replacement fee.
