SCC IDENTIFICATION CARD
New students are required to obtain an SCC ID card. If you are studying at one of our campuses, you can secure your SCC ID card by visiting the Cashier’s Office on the Jackson campus or at Cecil Groves Center. Bring a photo ID with you.
Online students can secure an SCC ID card by emailing the following information to tholland@southwesterncc.edu via their SCC student email accounts:
• Full name
• Student ID number
• Image of themselves (preferably with a white or off-white background). Images can be of any size or shape but must clearly show the student’s face, free of hats, visors or scarves. Student ID cards can only be mailed to the address currently on file. To update your
address, visit www.southwesterncc.edu/change-name-address-notification.
Each fall semester you are required to update your SCC ID card. There is no charge
associated with this update.
If you lose your SCC ID card, a replacement card can be created for you. The cost of the
replacement card is $5.
YOUR FIRST DAY - ATTEND CLASS
Students must attend the first class meeting. If a personal emergency prevents at- tendance, students must contact their instructors by the end of the second day of class. For online classes, students must log in and complete the first assignment within 48 hours of the start of the semester. Students should not wait until they have purchased textbooks to attend on-campus classes or participate in online classes.
