Identification Policy

All Illinois College students are issued picture identification cards. These cards are necessary for entry to residence halls, the dining hall for students on the meal plans, checking out library materials, receiving convocation credit, entrance to campus buildings, checking in at campus and hall events, picking up student payroll checks and cashing checks as well as picking up packages through Mail Services. Students are expected to have their ID cards with them at all times and to present them to College officials when requested.

Given a particular situation, the Department of Public Safety or another official (including residence hall staff) from Illinois College may ask students and others on campus to identify themselves by an identification card. We ask for your assistance and compliance with this request. If the reason for this request is connected to a possible disciplinary incident, failure to produce the identification could result in a $50 fine.
