Skycard Information

The SkyCard is your official FLC ID card. All Fort Lewis College students, faculty, and staff may submit an online photo to be placed into your SkyCard ID. This application provides the ability for all new incoming students, faculty, and staff to submit their ID photo online in advance of their arrival on campus. This will allow you to avoid the long lines that are common at the beginning of each semester

Students who plan to pick up their SkyCard from the student services hub in the Skyhawk Station, instead of at New Student Orientation, must submit a photo at least 3 days before arrival. When you arrive to pick up your Skycard - you will be required to present a government issued photo ID (Drivers License, Passport, Tribal ID, Military ID) in order to receive your SkyCard.
