IDENTIFICATION CARD
Rockland Community College photo ID cards are required for students to use library,
recreational, and other facilities, and for cashing checks. Returning students must have their
cards validated for the current semester. All students must present proof of payment to obtain a
new card or to validate an existing card. Replacement cards can be obtained for a $5 fee payable
at the Bursar, unless the replacement is required because of name change, in which case the
fee is waived. Proof of payment of the replacement fee must be shown before a replacement
photo identification card is issued. ID cards are available during the hours of registration at
Public Safety in the Technology Center; call 845-574-4227 for hours. Student ID cards must
be presented when requested by a College official.
