DISTANCE STUDENT ID CARDS
All students attending the Celina, Farmersville, Frisco, McKinney, Plano, Technical,

made.
For those students who are distance learners, iCollin Campus (online courses only)
and Courtyard Center, we are offering the ability to produce IDs without coming to
campus.
Collin College ID Cards may be requested 24-hours after you have registered for courses.
To access the submission form and for more information, go to our DISTANCE ID CARD PAGE.
WHEN CAN I GET MY STUDENT ID CARD?
ID Cards will be available for students who are enrolled in courses, and have allowed
at least 24 hours to have passed since enrolling. Students enrolling past the payment
deadline or in a wintermester/summer course will need to pay for the class(es) or
set up a payment plan, or their classes will be dropped.
STUDENT ID FORM (Homeschool / No ID)
To get a Collin College ID card produced, you will need to present a photo ID to verify
your identity (Driver’s License, High School ID, Passport, Military ID, etc). If
you were homeschooled and/or do not have any of these forms of ID, you will need to
complete the Student ID form and have it notarized. After you have registered for courses, bring the completed
Student ID form to one of our ID offices.
