General Arrival Info: Purdue ID Card

You cannot obtain a student photo ID card until you complete the SEVIS Check-in Process.  After SEVIS Check-in, take your SEVIS Compliance Print-out to the Purdue Memorial Union (PMU), Room 130 to have your photo taken. Your ID card will be ready within a few minutes. 

Your student ID will allow you to use many university facilities including the university libraries, the recreational gymnasium, and most food services.   In addition, your ID card can be used as a “debit card” at many campus locations and to ride the City Bus System for free. Your PUID card is an important piece of identification both on campus and in the surrounding community.  Be sure to obtain your PUID card!
