Warrior ID 

All students, faculty and staff at WSU are issued an ID card known as a “Warrior ID”.  Students at the Winona and Rochester campuses will have Warrior ID cards specific to those locations.

Distance learning students are also issued an ID card, so they can take advantage of digital services even though they aren’t physically on campus. Please submit this online form to request that your ID be mailed if you are not currently near the Winona or Rochester campus.

Your Warrior ID is an essential part of day-today life on campus as it serves as your official campus identification and grants: 

• Entry to campus buildings and residence halls 
• Use of meal plan and dining dollars in the Jack Kane Dining Center and other campus dining locations
• Receive a student discount at local businesses, like the Marine Art Museum

Every Warrior ID cards has the following information and features:

• Card holder’s name
• Card holder’s photo
• Card holder’s Warrior ID number (8-digit number)
• Card holder’s PALS ID (14-digit number for all Library Services)
• Magnetic Stripe for point-of-sale transactions
• Prox no. for door access and gate access

Warrior IDs for New Students

New students will have their photos taken for ID cards during the registration events held on campus in the spring and summer. You can then pick up your ID during the summer when you set up your laptop or from your residence hall on move-in day.

It is important that you hold on to your Warrior ID if you pick it up before moving into a residence hall because your ID gives you access to your assigned building.

If you are a distance student or can’t make it to an on-campus registration event, you can upload a photo online. 

Keep these things in mind when taking a photo: 

• Use a white or light background with no other objects in view
• Have your face and shoulders squarely facing the camera
• Leave space around and above your head
• Do not include pets or other people in your photo
• Do not wear hats, sunglasses or other accessories that block your face
• Avoid selfies–this is your WSU Warrior ID and should be professional

You can also have your photo taken in person at the Campus Card Office in Somsen 207. 

Whether you’re on campus to pick up your laptop, for a tour, or registration, you are welcome to stop by for 5-10 minutes to take a photo and print your card. 

Lost or Stolen Warrior ID Cards 

If you set up a GET Funds account, lock your card online right away. 

Once you lock your card, you will not have access to your Meal Plan or Dining Dollars funds. See the Food Services window in Kryzsko 220 to request a temporary eating pass for Meal Plans.

You can also report a stolen card to WSU Security. 

If you use Library services, notify the Circulation desk that your card was stolen because you could be liable for books checked out under your card.
