Your MCTC Student Photo ID card is your library card!
If you do not already have an MCTC student photo ID card made, you can come to your nearest MCTC campus library (or Student Services office at the Rowan Campus) to have your card made!
Your student photo ID card serves as both your student identification card on campus and your library card. You may also be asked to present your ID card to purchase textbooks at the Barnes and Noble campus bookstores and to sell back textbooks. When you are on campus, you are required to wear/display your Student ID for security purposes.
If you lose your MCTC Student/Photo ID Card, you will need to pay a $10 replacement fee at your campus library or business office.
