STUDENT ID

A permanent Identification Card is issued to every student at the time of his/her initial enrolment in the University. This permanent ID is validated each semester upon enrolment in the University. The student should display his/her ID at all times while he/she is on campus. The ID is required for admittance to the campus and for use of University facilities and services such as library, dental and medical check-ups, mail services, and all recreational facilities.

In case of loss of ID, the student must notify the Office of Student Affairs and Development; secure an Affidavit duly notarized stating the circumstances around the loss of the ID, and presents the Affidavit to the Director of Student Affairs who will authorize the issuance of ID replacement.

If the lost ID is found later, it should be surrendered to the Office of Student Affairs and Development. Upon graduation, transfer to another school, or withdrawal from the University, the student must surrender his/her ID to the Office of Student Affairs and Development as one of the clearance requirements.
