Emerson ID Card

Emerson College Photo ID cards are issued at regular intervals as announced by the Office of Public Safety. All new students should get their first ID card during Orientation at no cost.

Students are expected to carry their Emerson College ID cards at all times and to produce the ID card when requested. Students who lose their IDs must report the loss to Public Safety and obtain a temporary ID at that office. A fee of $25.00 will be charged to the student. Public Safety will issue a replacement Emerson College ID card upon sufficient verification of identity.

Student, Faculty and Staff ID cards are issued during academic semesters according to a schedule posted at the beginning of each semester.

Library Card

There is a barcode on the back of your ID card that enables you to check books out at the library and use resources like course reserves, study rooms, and laptops within the library. You can also use ECCash at the library to pay fines if you need to.

If you do not have a barcode on the back of your card, stop by the library and they will put a barcode sticker on your card.

Computer Lab Printing

Printing to computer lab printers or print kiosks requires an Emerson ID card. At the beginning of every semester, staff, faculty and matriculated students are allotted $5.00 of printing credit. This credit is attached to the Emerson ID. Should you find that you use all of your credit, you must use ECcash to pay for additional printing.
