Student ID Cards
All Florida Polytechnic University students are required to have a photo identification card. Students can take their own photo for the card to skip the line by emailing a “selfie” to selfie@floridapoly.edu. Please include your student ID number with your photo submission. You can also use one of the Florida Polytechnic University selfie stations to take your photo located in four locations: North and South entrance of the IST, Admissions and the Wellness Center. Here are some guidelines:
- Upload a photo from your computer.
- Take a photo with your webcam.
- Take a photo with your mobile device.
- Your image must be at least 1kb and at most 1mb.
- Your face needs to be in front of the camera and clearly seen.
- No one else should be in the photo, which should have a neutral background.
Bring a government issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license or passport, to pick up your University ID card at the Wellness Center. ID cards will be ready at least five business days after your submission has been accepted.
You will receive an email stating submission was received, reviewed and approved. Your initial ID card fee is included in your student fees. Card replacement fees are $15.

- Borrow materials from library facilities on campus.
- Purchase an on-campus meal plan.
- Purchase a parking permit.
- Receive discounts at various local businesses.
- Use copier/faxing center services.
