Students can purchase a Fullerton College ID card either one of two ways:

1. 1. Purchase it in-person at Admissions and Records (Building 2000, first floor)
   2. Purchase it online through MyGateway

To purchase it online through MyGateway:

1. 1. Go to MyGateway: mg.nocccd.edu
   2. Under “Registration Tools“, click on “Add or Drop Classes, or purchase parking, AS, or ID“
   3. Select the current term
   4. Click on “Complete Registration“
   5. Select “Campus ID Card“
   6. Select “Confirm Purchase“
   7. Select “Fullerton College“
   8. Optional: You may also purchase “AS Benefits” for the current term. This is not a mandatory purchase, and for more information, see “What is AS Benefits?” down below under the “Fees” section of this FAQs page
   9. Complete the online payment with your debit/credit card. To receive your ID card, you must pay the full $7.00 for your Campus ID card. You will not need to pay for any other fees if you have them to get an ID card (e.g., Health Fee, Transportation Fee, Class Registration Fee, etc.)

If you have lost your ID card on campus, please check with the Student Center (Room 214) to check our Lost and Found ID Cards. 

If you have already received an ID card for the current semester, you will need to purchase a replacement ID card at Admission & Records (currently, there is no way to purchase a replacement ID card online). The replacement fee will run $14.00. After paying the replacement fee, please keep hold of the receipt and come to the Student Center (Room 214) for your replacement ID card. 

If you have an ID card from a previous semester, you do not need to purchase a new ID card for the current semester.

Please bring your old ID card and a hard copy of your current semester Schedule/Bill to the Student Center (Room 214) to receive a validation sticker that will revalidate your ID card for usage for the current semester.

The following counts as valid ID cards:

1. Digital mDL through the DMV app
2. Physical driver’s license
3. State ID
4. Passport
5. High school ID (if you a recent high school graduate)
6. Other college’s ID

If you do not have any form of physical valid ID card, please contact us at studentlife@fullcoll.edu for further assistance.

Please note that we cannot accept pictures of valid ID cards. We must see the physical ID itself.

Only students enrolled in at least 0.5 units for the current semester may receive an ID card. Please note that waitlisted classes do not count as being actively enrolled.

AS Benefits is an optional fee of $15.00 students may pay every semester to receive additional benefits both on and off campus in forms such as student discounts. Students without AS Benefits status may still utilize their ID card to its fullest function on campus (e.g. checking out books/equipment, computer labs, academic support centers, free attendance at home athletics events, etc.).

AS Benefits is $15.00 for Fall and Spring semester. For the Summer session, it is $7.50.

The Transportation Fee is a mandatory fee placed by Fullerton College on every actively enrolled student’s account to pay for the OCTA Bus Pass. In 2019, a referendum was held, and the student body voted to keep the Transportation Fee to cover the costs of providing public transportation for students. As this was a decision made by the student body, Student Life and Leadership cannot remove or waive the fee from your account.

However, this does mean that you can access the OCTA Bus Pass on either the OC Bus App or an encoded ID card (only one encoded card per semester) to ride the OC buses an unlimited number of times per semester.

Note: If you are under dual enrollment status, you may be exempt from the fee. Please see your dual enrollment officer for more information.

If you cannot download the OC Bus App, you can alternatively encode your Fullerton College ID card with the OCTA Bus Pass. Please come to the Student Center (Room 214) and request for ID card encoding during our hours of operation.

HOWEVER, please note that Student Life and Leadership expressly recommends that you download the OC Bus App rather than getting your ID card encoded for the following reasons:

1. We can only encode one ID per semester, so if you lose the ID card, we cannot encode any replacement ID cards for the rest of the semester
2. You must get your ID card encoded every semester you wish to utilize the service while the app will distribute a pass automatically every semester
3. Students can only have their ID card encoded or the OC Bus App at a time, but not both, and it is more likely that you will lose your ID card than your phone
