Student IDs
The Office of Accounting issues a student identification card to
you with your arrival on campus. Freshmen and transfer students
receive their Stephens ID during orientation and returning students
continue to use the ID issued to them when they first arrived at
Stephens.
The ID admits students to all campus facilities and activities, including the cafeteria, health services, the library, the Bookshelf and picking up or cashing checks.
Please guard your student ID carefully and never lend it to anyone. If you lose your ID, report it immediately to the Office of Accounting. To replace it, you will be charged $15. If it breaks and you bring in the broken ID, it will be replaced free of charge. Parking PermitsDue to limited parking, all vehicles utilizing campus parking lots must be registered with the Accounting office. To register, proof of registration or a valid insurance card and the appropriate fee payment are required. Mobility-impaired students with special parking needs should contact the Dean of Students for special parking information. Motorcycles also must be registered and may not be brought into or stored inside buildings.
There are no reserved spaces; however, there are plenty of spaces available in the designated parking lots.
