ID Cards

The ID card is an encrypted multi-function card. It is issued to individuals requiring access to buildings in Member Housing or on the academic campus. Cardholders on campus for thirty days or more may have the card provisioned to charge meals in Simons Hall. The issuance of a card for a stay of thirty days or more requires a photograph of the cardholder. An ID card automatically reactivates if the cardholder returns to IAS for future visits.

Cardholders can have access to the Fitness Center with the submission of a waiver and Piano Room by requesting such access by sending an email request to idcards@ias.edu.

Photo ID cards are issued to those here for more than 30 days, and permit the cardholder to charge meals in Simons Hall. Family members can use their photo ID cards in the dining facility as well, provided that this use is approved by the primary card holder.
