  • Get Your RAM Card (Student ID)

    If you already have a RamCard you can continue to use it. If you have lost your RamCard since your last time of attendance, you can get another one.

    To get your RamCard:

    • A valid state or government-issued photo identification such as a driver's license or passport must be presented at the time your RamCard photo is taken and when RamCards are picked up (the college cannot accept permits for a Ramcard as these are not valid for identification).
    • Students must be registered for classes.

    Please note that it takes approximately one hour for the registration system to relay student information to the RamCard database so students will become eligible to have their RamCard picture taken about one hour after they register (during RamCard business hours).
