Who should have a WESTCONNect ID Card?

All registered students, faculty, staff and university affiliates must obtain a WESTCONNect ID Card. This includes all part-time, evening and summer students. Department contacts are responsible for working with the WESTCONNect Office to make appropriate arrangements for visitors, contractors, vendors and other non-University personnel who are authorized to be on University grounds.

ISSUANCE: You will need to bring a valid form of photo identification (driver’s license, state identification card, passport) and your course schedule verifying registration for the current semester (for students), or your Human Resource form (for employees).


Replacement ID Cards

Replacement Cards: Lost, stolen or damaged cards should be reported immediately to the WESTCONNect Card Office during normal business hours.  Students, Faculty and Staff may also report their card as lost or stolen online by going through WESTCONNDUIT at staging.www.wcsu.edu, selecting the Academic Tools Tab, and then navigating to WESTCONNect Card Account Management under University Services. Residents are also responsible for notifying their Resident Directors when their card is lost or stolen.

Students:  Cards that have been lost, stolen, or damaged due to vandalism or neglect will be replaced for a fee of $15 payable at the Cashier’s Office. 

Cards that have ceased functioning due to normal wear and tear or a data/technology issue as determined by WESTCONNect office staff will be replaced free of charge.

Replacement cards must be obtained in person and will not be mailed.

If you wish to fill it out ahead of time, you may obtain the replacement ID card form here.
