SECTION II: Policies and Procedures for all Students

Identification: University I.D. Card

The University of Rochester ID card is provided at no charge to all students enrolled at the SON, including all matriculated and non-matriculated students. All new students will be photographed for an Identification card and must bring a government/state ID or Passport to receive their student ID card. It is both necessary and useful for checking out books from the library, cashing checks, identification, and admission to various campus buildings and events. Your University ID card must be always worn throughout the Medical Center and University while working as a nursing student and must be visible and worn with the photo side facing out. The ID card is not appropriate to wear while visiting a patient for personal reasons at Strong Memorial Hospital.

For UR employees, a student ID will NOT be issued since the individual already has a UR employee ID. To receive student privileges that differ from employee benefits, the student may request a letter from the SON Registrar.

Placing money on student ID cards is done through Blackboard with either a debit or credit card.
