• Class of 20__
• Expiration Date
• Student Personal Identification Number
• ISO Number

Policy

The following requirements related to the Heritage College ID must be adhered to by all students:

1. Must be worn in an easily visible location at all times while on campus and/or in clinical settings.
2. Access may be denied to facilities such as the Learning Resource Center, etc., if a valid ID is not visible or presented. When in the LRC, students must present their Heritage College ID for identification purposes and when checking out materials.
3. A lost, stolen or damaged Heritage College ID must be reported immediately to the Office of Student Affairs for Year I and Year II students, and to the Office of Medical Education for Year III and Year IV students. If the ID is lost after business hours, contact the Ohio University Police Department at 740-593-1911 so that the badge can be deactivated. Arrangements must be made by the student for another ID to be processed. Privileges associated with this ID may be denied if arrangements to have a duplicate badge issued are not made promptly.
4. A replacement fee will be charged if the Heritage College ID is lost, stolen or defaced.
5. If a student changes their last name and has submitted the required name change information to the Office of Student Affairs, a new Heritage College ID must be issued.
6. Year III and Year IV students who are required to wear hospital ID cards at their clinical sites must also visibly wear their Heritage College IDs.
7. Unauthorized possession, use or reproduction of an Heritage College ID may constitute theft or misappropriation of Heritage College property and will be grounds for disciplinary action up to and including termination of enrollment or prosecution by law.
8. For information on the Ohio University Preferred Name Policy and Procedures, please see the Ohio University Student Handbook Section 12.021.
