Student ID cards

Your Student ID Card is your official Douglas College picture identification. Student ID Cards are produced by Enrolment Services for Douglas College students registered in courses for the current semester. Your Douglas College ID Card is valid for five years.

Current/Valid Government Photo Identification is required.

Lost or Stolen Replacement Cards: Students who require a replacement card will be charged a replacement fee of $20.
 

How to request your Student ID card

Students registered for the current term have three options for obtaining an ID card.

1. Pick-up – students can order online and pick up their card at their campus of choice.
2. Mail – students can order online and request to have their card mailed to them directly.
3. Walk-in – students can wait in line and receive their card on the spot.

In order to qualify for a student ID Card, students must be registered in the current semester. We will only accept application 30 days prior the start of the semester that the student is registered in. All requests submitted before the application open date will be deleted and applications will need to be resubmitted.

Note

We will continue to process applications until the end of the current semester that the student is registered in.

To request a card online, sign into your myAccount and click on the Student Records menu item. The Student ID Card request form is available by clicking Student ID Cards on the left side of the page.
