The Stanford ID card serves as an identification card, an electronic key, and a purchase card, allowing you to easily enter facilities or use services for which you have privileges. ID Cards allow you to:
- Access campus libraries and recreational facilities
- Dine in residence dining halls
- Obtain student health services
- Pay for your books at the Stanford Bookstore
- Use campus copiers and networked printers
- Purchase tickets for athletic events
- Buy books, food, goods, and services at various campus locations
- Enter certain graduate residences
As a new student, you must get a Stanford ID card. Please submit your photo using the online photo submission tool on the Student Services Center web site. You may upload a photo as soon as your SUNet ID and password are set up. This online process is convenient and will help us to have your card waiting for you when you arrive on campus.
StanfordCardPlan
The StanfordCardPlan allows eligible students to use their Stanford ID card to make purchases of up to $1,000 per quarter (Autumn, Winter, and Spring) at the Stanford Bookstore and other on-campus locations. The charges are added directly to the student’s University bill. The StanfordCardPlan accommodates the needs of students who often must purchase books and other necessities early in the quarter before their financial aid is available. In order to participate in the StanfordCardPlan, students need to sign up in Axess.To learn more about your Stanford ID Card, visit the Campus Card Services site. For more information about the StanfordCardPlan, see ‘Overview: StanfordCardPlan’ on the Student Financial Services site.
