All Å·²©ÓÎÏ·¹ÙÍø Illinois University students are required to have a Å·²©ÓÎÏ·¹ÙÍø photo identification (ID) card issued by the University.

Å·²©ÓÎÏ·¹ÙÍø photo ID cards are mandatory to:

• Check out books and materials from the Library.
• Gain access to the Physical Education Complex for classes or recreational activities.
• Verify status for University-sponsored events and activities.
• Pick up checks disbursed by the University.
• Request information regarding your records at the Enrollment Services Center, Cashier’s Office, Student Loan Office and Accounts Receivable.
• Print, copy and scan documents at the University printers and multifunction devices.

Å·²©ÓÎÏ·¹ÙÍø photo ID card can also be used as an add-value card in photocopiers, computer lab printers and Library microfilm printers. The magnetic strip on the back of the ID card can be encoded with a dollar value up to $25. To encode (or increase) the dollar value on an ID card, go to an on-campus "Add Value" station. Insert the card and a $5, $10 or $20 bill and the dollar value on the magnetic strip will be increased by that amount. Each time the ID card is used for a purchase, the dollar value encoded on the magnetic strip will be reduced by the amount of the transaction.

All newly admitted students are able to obtain an NEIU ID card free of charge.  Students can request an ID Card by visiting the Welcome Desk.

Students must visit the Welcome Desk in Village Square to have a photo taken and receive their NEIU ID card by visiting the Welcome Desk.
