Virginia Western Student ID Cards are intended for the exclusive use by the student appearing on the card. The card's purpose is to identify a Virginia Western student and to qualify a student for the use of certain college services. All currently enrolled students are eligible to receive a Virginia Western Student ID Card.
Scheduled office hours and information for IDs are posted at the beginning of each semester. New students receive a new card and returning students receive a semester validation sticker each semester.
The first Student ID Card is issued free of charge. There is a $10 replacement fee for lost cards, payable to the Cashier's Office in Chapman Hall. The receipt should be brought to the Student ID Office to show proof of payment before a replacement card will be issued. Damaged cards will be reissued at the discretion of the Student Activities Coordinator.
