New Student Photo Identification and Building Access
As a new student, you must obtain a Stanford Student ID Card and Stanford Hospital Photo ID Badge. Please see instructions below. If you have specific questions or concerns after reviewing this information, please contact Monica Devlin, Associate Director for Biosciences Student Life.
1. Stanford University Student ID Card
All graduate students must obtain a Stanford ID card. You may upload a photo as soon as your SUNet ID and password are set up. The online process is convenient and your card will be waiting for you when you arrive on campus.
The Campus Card (known as the Stanford ID Card, University ID, or Student ID) serves as an identification card and an electronic key card granting access to:
- Campus libraries and recreational facilities
- Student health services
- Purchase tickets for athletic events
- Buy books, food, goods, and services at various campus locations
Campus Card Services Office
ID Cards are issued by the Campus Card Office, located in Tresidder Union at 459 Lagunita Drive (2nd floor, next to the Ticket Office). For more information, submit a HelpSU request, or call 650-498-CARD or (8-2273).
2. Li Ka Shing Center Access
The fourth floor of the Li Ka Shing Center (LKSC) is open only to Biosciences and medical students. Featuring a view of the Stanford hills, this exclusive student center features a fitness center, entertainment lounge, kitchenette, study rooms, computers and printers, and even a nap room. Many student meetings, formal and informal, happen here.
Fitness Center Rules and Waiver Form
LKSC's Fitness Center is a 24-hour badge access facility. LKSC building management requires students to complete the LKSC Fitness Center Waiver Form in order to receive access to the facility.
Incoming students for the upcoming academic year will be sent an email link to the waiver form in August. If you are a returning student who needs help gaining access to the LKSC fourth floor and/or fitness center, please contact Monica Devlin (mkdevlin@stanford.edu) for assistance and to request a link to fill out the waiver form. Make sure to specify a) whether you already have a SOM ID badge already and b) if you already have a badge, what type of new access you are requesting.
