New Parkland College ID cards are issued without charge to all students during initial registration. It is each student's responsibility to obtain a Parkland ID card. All that is required is a picture ID such as a state ID or a driver's license and enrollment in classes.

The first card is free. However, a five dollar fee is charged for the first three replacement cards and a fifteen dollar fee is charged for the fourth and up replacement cards.

The student should carry the Parkland ID at all times. Why should you have a Parkland ID? You will need it:

• To present for identification when asked

• Checking out materials and equipment in the Library
• For business and financial aid transactions including book vouchers
