All full- and part-time students at York College are required to obtain an identification (ID) card. Your ID card is an essential tool for your college experience and serves many purposes.
Unless otherwise noted, all ID cards may be picked up in the Campus Safety office.
Getting (or Replacing) Your ID Card
New students may submit an ID card photo online. Your printed ID card will be given to you at check-in during your first semester.
- Fall semester — New students may submit a photo beginning on July 1.
- Spring semester — New students may submit a photo beginning on December 1.
- Summer semester — New students may submit a photo beginning on May 1.
Students who need a new ID card should contact the Campus Safety office in the Manor Northeast lobby. You will be required to present a valid photo ID (e.g., driver's license, State ID, high school ID).
If you lose your York College ID Card:
- Report it to Campus Safety immediately by calling 717.815.1403 (8 a.m. - 5 p.m.) or 717.815.1314 (after 5 p.m.).

There is a $20 fee for replacement ID cards. The fee will be billed through the Business Office.
