ID card printing is currently available to all registered students and active employees at the Service Desk located in room S-141 of 199 Chambers street, weekdays from 8:00am to 8:00pm.
Every BMCC student and staff member must have a validated identification (ID) card at all times. Members of the BMCC community must have their ID card to enter the college, to enter the library, to borrow library books, or to collect student paychecks from the college. Students are expected to present their ID card to any college official (security officer, administrator, faculty and staff member, etc.) who requests such identification.
If your ID card is not working, please visit the Service Desk in person at room S141.
Obtaining a New ID Card
New students can obtain a BMCC ID card from the Service Desk located at room S-141. Students must be registered for classes before they can obtain an ID card and must provide a form of photo identification.
Newly hired faculty and staff can obtain a BMCC ID card from the Service Desk after Human Resources processes their information in CUNYFirst and they are entered into the ID system. Faculty and staff must provide a form of photo identification as well as an authorization slip from Human Resources, located at room S-717. Research Foundation and contractor employees must be entered into the ID system by the Office of Sponsored Programs before they can obtain an ID card, and must provide both a form of photo identification and an ID request form from their supervisor to obtain an ID card from the Service Desk.
Replacing a Lost ID Card
A signed ID replacement form is required to obtain a replacement ID card. The form must first be brought to the Bursar's Office, room S330, and a $10 replacement fee must be paid. Then bring the signed ID replacement form to the Service Desk, room S141, to obtain a replacement ID card.
