Your RISD ID Card

Your RISD ID card is your key to accessing the essentials of campus life. Below you’ll find out where and how to use your card, how to replace it, and more.

More than just identifying you as a member of the campus community, your RISD ID card gives you entry into campus buildings and lets you take advantage of basic RISD services and student benefits. Card uses include:

  • accessing campus buildings and facilities using our card scan system. (Note that access is managed by Card Services and often varies according to your role at RISD.)
  • using your meal plan on campus in place of payment.
  • using your RISD Bucks account to pay for laundry and printing.
  • checking out books at The Fleet Library and accessing the Brown University Libraries and the Providence Athenaeum.
  • gaining free use of Rhode Island’s public bus system, RIPTA.
