Penn State World Campus students are eligible to receive Penn State student identification cards. These ID cards can be used wherever student discounts are offered — movie theatres, bookstores, performing arts centers, etc. If you are a degree or certificate student a Penn State Student ID card will be mailed to you once you have enrolled in your first World Campus course.
Penn State ID cards typically include a student's photo (similar to a driver's license); however, for security reasons, we are unable to issue a student ID with a photo unless you can visit a Penn State ID Card Center to be photographed. If you live close to a Penn State campus, bring your active ID card to the ID center and trade it in for a photo ID card.
Penn State ID cards can be used for student discounts whether or not there is a photo on the card.
