Your picture ID will be necessary for virtually all in-person business you transact with the university. Online students are encouraged to acquire ID's, also; they are required for library transactions, for example.
 

Your first step will be to get your picture taken. A valid, government-issued photo ID is required. On the Huntington campus, you can get your ID picture taken at the Campus ID office in the lower level of the Memorial Student Center.

On the South Charleston campus, you can get a picture made at the library during their regular hours, or if you are taking online courses through the Graduate School of Education and Professional Development, on SuperSaturday just prior to the week classes begin. (For information on other locations and situations, please contact the Campus ID office by e-mail or by telephone at (304) 696-6843.

Once your picture has been taken, it will be sent to the card issuer in order for your card to be manufactured. Marshall student ID cards are issued by Higher One and mailed to your home address of record.

For students on the Huntington campus, a "points" system allows students to prepay for certain products and services offered on campus. Further information is available on the Campus ID Web site. Also, the ID card can be used for banking and receiving university refunds. Further information can be found at the Marshall Higher One site.
