Get an ID Card

The Spears School Greenwood Center for Online Excellence will mail ID cards to students who have inquired, three times/year.

During the 6th week of each semester (summer, fall, spring), ID cards will be mailed to students who requested one. If you are interested in obtaining an OSU photo ID, please following the directions on the next slide. You may wish to use your ID for exam proctoring services.
