Just got my ID card in the mail, and it doesn't have my complete name on it. Only my last name, and the first two letters of my first name. Is this normal?

Yes, mine has only my first initial

Ok, thanks. I was getting annoyed that I'd have to contact the school and go through all that BS.

Mine has my first and middle initial together XD It looks so funny

Mine looks funny too, but it's more the picture than whats written on it.

Lol, I'm glad my picture looks alright. It's going to look funny once I switch glasses in the middle of the year.... for the next three years >.< XD

Crap. I was hoping you have to get a new ID card every year.

Last year (third year) my ID card was so blurry because it had been scratching in my pockets for years. At one of my exams, the invigilator made me go to get a new one so that my face would be clearer. It was a real nuisance, but now I have a brand new card! But for some reason, I have to swipe it a couple times before it actually works. It has the looks of a new card, with the mind of an old card! :S



Wait! Is that Batman?!?

The Dark Knight himself.

So... if you want a new card all you have to do is mutilate your old card? Hmmm... Lol

And cough up $30

Actually, no! If your card wears out from use, then they'll replace it for free. This sometimes happens to residence students (particularly if they're living there multiple years, not just one) because it starts to crack around the magnetic stripe since it's swiped so often.

The only caveat is, they have your picture already digitally on file, so they just print it again from that...so you can't use it as a strategy to get a better mugshot :p

although every time you lose it and pay the $30 you can get a new mugshot.

Damn, maybe I can tape on sunglasses on the picture or something.

Edit: Just read Lorend's post.... YAY! =D

Oh nice, I didn't know that - never lost mine, but I did wear two out over the years :p
