An NIC Student ID confirms your NIC student status and student number. You are eligible to receive a free Student ID card once you have registered in one or more credit courses.
You’ll need to show your NIC student card when:
- Borrowing library materials from the library
- Registering or withdrawing from courses in person
- Voting in elections of student representatives
- Buying computer software at the bookstore in order to receive student pricing

- From your NIC email, send an email to photoid@nic.bc.ca include
- a jpeg headshot between 10-2500 KB,
