Student ID Card

The student ID is more than your official Rhode Island College photo identification card. It is a great way to pay for everything including food, beverages, photocopies, laundry, vending purchases, and textbooks at the bookstore. You can add value to your campus points account using the GET Funds app with a credit card. You can also add value using cash at any of the  three Value Port stations; located in the Student Union outside of the bookstore,  in Adams library on the reference desk level, and at the lower entrance of Browne Hall. Your student ID accounts can be managed using GET Funds. Point your browser to https://get.cbord.com/ric and register your account. Additionally, your ID card has some important non-debit uses as well. It serves as your meal card when you sign up for a meal plan, your door key for entrance to your residence halls, your Adams Library card, your pass for entrance into the Recreation Center, as an unlimited bus pass on Rhode Island’s public bus system (RIPTA), and as free entry into Rhode Island School of Design’s Museum.  

The ID card consists of 3 accounts:

1. The meal plan account for Donovan Dining Center (DDC) and the Beestro. This account consists of Board, Flex Meal Points, and Vending Points.

2. The Campus Points account for use at all locations where points are accepted; DDC, Beestro, bookstore, copiers in Adams Library, vending machines, and laundry facilities in the Residence Halls.

3. The DDC commuter points account (Dining Dollars). This account is useful if you would like to designate funds for food only.

Your first ID card is free and can be obtained by coming to the Student ID office located on the second floor of the Dining Center near the bridge to the Student Union.
