ID Card Services

To get a student ID card you must be admitted and enrolled at Normandale. Bring the following items to ID Card Services, at the Kopp Central Desk in the Kopp Student Center:

• Your Tech ID Number: When you registered, this number was sent to you in a letter and/or the email address provided at registration. If you no longer have it, request an unofficial transcript or login to E-services with your Star ID and password and your TechID will be in the top right corner.
• A Photo ID: You’ll need to show a photo ID, for example a driver's license, state ID, passport, etc. See Acceptable Forms of Government Identification.

You will use the card throughout your entire academic career at Normandale, so treat it well! Your first ID card will be issued for free. Replacement cards cost $10/card.

The office is also closed on academic holidays.

In addition to serving as proof of identification, your student ID card can be used in the following ways:

• Academic Success Center: Tutoring students can swipe their card and select the class and tutor they will be meeting upon entry to the Center.
• Activity Building Access: Your card will grant you entry to the Activities Building to access fitness classes, the gym and intramural sports.
• Biology Center Access: Swipe your card and you're in! Book stickers are no longer required.
• Kopp Student Center: Rent equipment, buy bus passes and receive discount movie tickets.
• Library: Check out books, use reserve materials, book a study room, even access databases and other resources from home. Please note, Library staff will need to scan your card once to activate it for library use.
• Math Center: Bring up your student records and check out tests for your classes.
• Music Lab: Scanning your card will verify you have access to the area.
• Printing: Use your card for on-campus printing. Students receive a set amount of 'free' prints each semester.

Lost or stolen cards must be reported immediately in person at ID Card Services in the Kopp Center or by calling 952-358-8120. Only the latest card printed is valid.

Card Not Working?

The barcode on your ID card may be worn or damaged. Bring it to the Kopp Central Desk for a replacement. If the card is defective, it will be reissued for free. If the replacement is needed due to improper use or damage, a $10 replacement fee will be charged.

We suggest carrying your ID card in a protective holder or wallet. Do not punch holes in the card or affix stickers, pins or tape to it. If anything obscures your photo, the college logo or information printed on the card it may be considered invalid.

Name Changes

If your card needs to be replaced because of a name change, you can exchange it for free.

Card Disclosure

The Normandale Community College 'NCC Card' is the official identification card of Normandale Community College and must be carried by students at all times.

ID Card Characteristics

• Two college approved id cards: Student and Staff
• Student cards are photo cards with a magnetic stripe on the back
• Staff cards are a proximity card with a photo and magnetic stripe on the back

The mechanism for accessing the cardholder's account(s) or privileges shall be the Normandale student ID card. Presentation of the card may be required to access college services, library services, admission to events and building access. Access to college cardholder's account(s) may be denied if your account is suspended by the college for administrative reasons, you deactivate your card or if your card's magnetic stripe is damaged and will not scan.

The card is the property of Normandale Community College and is non-transferable. Only the cardholder may present the ID card privileges. NCC cards will be confiscated if presented by someone other than the cardholder or if the card is involved in inappropriate or illegal use. Fraudulent use of the card will result in disciplinary action.

Your ID card displays your eight-digit Tech ID number. It is the cardholder's responsibility to safeguard the confidentiality of the Tech ID number. If an assigned Tech ID has been compromised and used fraudulently, contact Normandale's ID Card Office immediately.

Information about the cardholder's account will be disclosed to third parties only for the following reasons:

1. In order to comply with court orders or other applicable laws
2. With the cardholder's written permission

Changes in Terms and Conditions

The college shall email or deliver a written notice at least twenty-one (21) days before the effective date of any change in terms or conditions if the change would result in increased charges or increased liability for the account holder.

Prior notice need not be given where an immediate change in terms or conditions is necessary to maintain or restore the security of account. However, if a change is to be made permanent, the College will provide written notice of the change to the account holder within thirty (30) days, unless such disclosure would jeopardize the security of the system or account.

A separate type of ID card is issued to faculty and staff. While student cards are photo cards with a magnetic stripe, employee IDs also include a proximity card. This provides access to restricted classrooms and other secure areas.

Faculty/staff must be currently employed at Normandale to be issued or possess an employee ID. The cards are considered property of the State of Minnesota. Return them to the Public Safety department upon separation from the college.
