The Atlas Service Center continues to operate primarily remotely with limited in-person services due to COVID-19. This spring, students will need to make an appointment to obtain their ID. Cards have been printed for all students who have submitted a photograph. Any cards that are not picked up will be held at the Atlas Center for the student until they arrive on-campus.
Incoming Graduate Students living on campus:
The Atlas Center has been coordinating with Housing to print and deliver cards to the residence the student will be moving into. ID cards will be available for pick-up at the front desk when the student moves in.
On-campus students requiring spouse/partner ID’s should submit a request via this link. The ID will be processed and delivered to the spouse/partner’s residence via Housing.
Incoming Graduate Students living off-campus:
Students will need to make a reservation in order to pick up their IDs. Card pick-up reservation hours are Monday – Friday, 8 am – 4 pm. Cards have not been printed for students who have not submitted his or her photograph. While picking up the card in-person is being offered, for those who are unable to come to campus, mailing the card to a current mailing address locally or within the US, is an option. Cards for international students working remotely in the Fall term will be held at the Atlas Center until they return to campus.
For your information, the emails sent to students are below. Emails have been sent to students who are eligible to obtain an ID but have not yet submitted a photograph. Students who have a printed ID have also been sent instructions on how to make an appointment.
Students Without a Photo:
Please submit a photograph for the card to be processed via https://mycard.mit.edu. ID cards will not be available for pick-up if you have not submitted a photograph. Instructions for pick-up will be provided once your photo is submitted and the card is processed. Please email atlascenter@mit.edu if you have any questions or concerns.
If you will not be on-campus for the Fall semester, please contact the Atlas Center when you return to campus.
