Student ID's...What you Need to Know

 

Why do I need an NECC ID?  ID's are required for each student.  Your validated NECC College ID card grants you access to the NECC labs, the photography labs, NECC libraries, The Wellness and Fitness Center and allows you to participate in most programs run by Student Activities FREE of charge.  Your NECC ID also allows you to receive discounts at a variety of local businesses.  A full listing can be found on the Student Activities webpage.

 

How do I obtain an NECC ID?  You will need to bring a copy of your current class schedule to Student Activities on either campus.  Your ID will be ready in minutes!

 

When and Where should I obtain my NECC ID?  ID's are processed at the Sport & Fitness Building , D-117 on the Haverhill campus and in Dimitry L-133 on the Lawrence campus.

 

The Photo ID Schedule is located on NECC webpage.  Click the Calendar link.

 

Your initial ID is free of charge.  At the beginning of each semester you will be required to obtain a validation sticker.  If you lose your ID there is a $5.00 replacement charge.   

Please call Bruce Potter 978/556-3731 with any questions!

PARTICIPATE AND WIN

 

Last semester, the Student Engagement Center introduced the Knights card, and opportunity to register to win $100 Barnes and Noble gift cards just for participating in Student Life activities. We had several winners, some students submitted more than one card. The more you participate, the more opportunities available! Students like Lathon Jones-Downing Katie Freeman, Corey Rappsilber and Adam Lowe were regulars in the Sport & Fitness Center and were big winners here.

You, too, can be a winner! Just check out the activities listed on the right column, attend 10 activities, at least two events must be from different areas, and you have a chance to win one of twelve $100 gift certificates to the Barnes & Noble Bookstore (two for faculty/staff and ten for students). 

If you have not yet picked up your Knights card, you can pick one up from Student Activities, Athletics, Recreation & Intramurals or the Wellness & Fitness Center.  Attend, and have your card punched at 10 NECC College Life events. 

If you card is full, turn it in to the Student Activities & Orientation Department at D-117 at the Sport & Fitness Center or L-133 on the Lawrence Campus. You must be a NECC Student, Faculty or Staff to enter and win.  For more information call 978-556-3731.
