The Cyclone Card is the official identification card for every student, faculty and staff member at SCTCC. It offers you a convenient, easy and safe way to make purchases and utilize campus services.

Here's how to get your student ID if you are a new student:

  1. Get a copy of your class schedule.
  2. Stop by Northway Computer Lab, room 1-405 and show them your class schedule and a picture ID (driver’s license, state ID, or passport).
  3. They will take your picture and print your student ID.
  4. Ready to pick up? Your ID will be in the Computer Lab, room 1-405 in the Main/Northway Building.

Here’s how to get your ID if you are new faculty or staff:

  1. Stop by Northway Computer Lab, room 1-405 and give them your tech ID.
  2. They will take your picture and print your ID.
  3. Make sure to let them know whether you are faculty or staff.
  4. Staff ID cards are available to pick up in the HR office in 1-401.

If you are a returning student and still have your SCTCC ID, you are able to use that ID, even if you haven't been an SCTCC student for a few semesters.

Treat your Cyclone ID card with a little TLC

Your Cyclone ID card can be used as long as you’re a part of SCTCC—even if you plan to take a break and come back later, so it’s important to take proper care of it. A replacement fee is assessed for any damaged, lost or stolen cards.

Lost or stolen cards should be reported to the Cyclone Card Office  at 320.308.6445 or 1.800.222.1009 or by email to cyclonecard@sctcc.edu.

  • Never allow your Cyclone ID card to be used as collateral and retained for college services as there may be financial value associated with your card.
  • Never turn in your Cyclone ID card at the end of employment or classes.
  • Never allow your Cyclone ID card's magnetic stripes to be scratched by sharp objects, like keys or coin edges.
  • Never allow your Cyclone ID card's magnetic stripes to touch other cards' magnetic stripes because the Cyclone ID card could demagnetize them.
  • Never bend your Cyclone ID card.
  • Never put punch holes in your Cyclone ID card.
  • Never apply tape or stickers to your Cyclone ID card.
  • Never run your card through the washer or dryer.
  • Never leave your Cyclone ID card on the dashboard or in direct sunlight as it may melt or warp.

If your Cyclone ID card is ever lost, damaged or stolen, you can get another one at the Cyclone Card Office.

You’ll need a picture ID (driver’s license, state ID or passport). Be prepared to have your picture taken.

A $10 replacement fee will be charged if your card has been misused, bent, broken, warped from heat (from a dashboard or clothes dryer), hole punched, or obstructed with stickers.

No replacement fee will be charged if:

  • Lamination is peeling (with no other sign of misuse)
  • Encoding on the magnetic strip is worn out or unusable (with no other sign of misuse)
  • Photo or text is fading because of frequent use
  • You change your name or status (Your name change must be verified through the Record and Registration Office in written form.)
  • Your card is stolen (A stolen card must be verified with an official police report—or a copy of the official police report—referencing your lost card.)
