Photo Identification

Photo identification cards are issued to:

  • full and part-time faculty and staff
  • students enrolled in credit courses only
  • check out library materials and for other college activities

Photo IDs for students and college employees are processed at the Circulation Services Desk facing the entrance of the building. Photo ID hours are posted each semester. Call 301-546-0475 when the library is open to speak with a circulation services staff member.

Currently enrolled students with a student photo identification card must re-validate it each semester. There is a $10.00 replacement fee for lost or stolen cards.
