Student ID Card
The student ID is more than your official Rhode Island College photo identification card. It is a great way to pay for everything including food, beverages, photocopies, laundry, printing, vending purchases, and textbooks at the Bookstore. You can add value to your campus points account at the Student ID office with a credit card. You can also add value using cash at either of the two Value Port stations; located in the Student Union behind the reference desk and at the lower entrance of Browne Hall. Your student ID accounts can be managed using GET Funds. Point your browser to https://get.cbord.com/ric and register your account. Additionally, your ID card has some important non-debit uses as well. It serves as your meal card when you sign up for a meal plan, your door key for entrance to your residence halls, your Adams Library card, and for entrance into the Recreation Center.
The ID card consists of 3 accounts:
-
The meal plan account for Donovan Dining Center (DDC) and the Beestro,and Flex Meal Points, which are also accepted in vending machines.
-
The Campus Points account for use at all locations where points are accepted; DDC, Beestro, Bookstore, copiers in the Adams Library, vending machines, and laundry facilities in the Residence Halls.
-
The DDC commuter points (DDC points). This account is useful if you would like to designate funds for food only.
Your first ID card is free and can be obtained by coming to the Student ID office located on the second floor of the Student Union. Call 401.456.8394, email studentid@ric.edu, or visit https://www.ric.edu/department-directory/office-student-life/student-union-student-ids for more information.
