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.
