Obtaining a Campus ID
Students - You must be registered for classes. In most cases, the ID office will have this confirmation. However, if you have just been accepted and registered for classes as a new student, you may need to show proof of your registration. A class schedule from the registrar is acceptable proof of registration.
Staff and Faculty - ID cards for staff and faculty may also be obtained from the ID Office. In order to obtain a new ID card, staff and faculty will need to bring documentation from the Office of Human Resources verifying employment at KSC. If you are unable to come during the posted office hours, you may call the office to arrange an appointment.
ID Cards
On the front of the ID card is the name of the holder, the Datatel ID number and a barcode. Staff and faculty cards show only the general category of Faculty/Staff. On the back of the ID card are two magnetic strips. The smaller strip is the vending strip; the larger strip is the debit strip.
Barcode
This is used exclusively to obtain materials from the Library.
