The power of your Student ID
ID cards allow students to do many important things on campus like take a test, print from computer labs and access funds from meal plans. Long lines can be avoided the sooner students come to the ID Office. New students should make getting their BYU ID a priority when they arrive and are encouraged to get it even before moving into dorms or attending New Student Orientation.
