Student Access Card

Official College Photo ID Card:

Your Student Access card is your official college ID card. Use it to get into college sports events and other college activities where student identification is required.

Regional Transit Pass Card:

Students approved a Universal Transit Pass fee which allows students to use all public transit bus and light rail systems in Sacramento, Yolo (excluding Unitrans), Folsom, El Dorado and Elk Grove at a greatly reduced rate. Your Student Access card is your transit pass and it is good seven days a week from August 1 through December 31 and from January 1 through May 31. This is an incredible bargain.

Here's how it works:

The UTP fee is charged when a student registers for classes. The fee is:

  • $5 per semester for less than six units ($2.50 for students receiving BOG fee waivers)
  • $10 per semester for 6 to 11.9 units ($5.00 for students receiving BOG fee waivers)
  • $15 per semester for 12 units or more ($7.50 for students receiving BOG fee waivers)
  • The fee is not charged for the Summer Session
  • The fee is refundable if a student drops courses within the fee refund period
  • A fee of $5 will be withheld from the refund if a Student Access card has already been issued to the student
  • Students who are enrolled in online courses may only request a refund during the semester

The fee is waived for students:

  • Enrolled in the Criminal Justice Training Consortium
  • Students enrolled in Apprenticeship programs
  • Those UC Davis students taking classes on the UC Davis main campus
  • Students studying abroad

Students can get their Student Access card beginning August 1 for the Fall semester and January 3 for the Spring semester. To get the card, students should bring a photo ID and proof of payment for the semester (this can be printed from eServices or obtained from the college Business Office) or a copy of their BOG fee waiver and proof of enrollment. For your card to be valid as a regional transit pass, it must have the current semester sticker attached.

Where to pick up your Student Access card:

ARC: Campus Life Center (Cafeteria), Library circulation desk, Administration Building (Info Desk)

CRC: Side window, Admissions and Records

FLC: Computer Lab-Library in FL 1/EDC: Computer Lab (C-204)/Rancho Cordova Outreach Center

SCC: Welcome Center RN-138, Learning Resource Center, and at the Davis, West Sacramento and Downtown Centers

College Library Card:

Your Student Access card is also your College Library card. It has a bar code which you activate by presenting your card at the library library databases and services that are available from off-campus. You will need to update your library account at the circulation counter each semester you are enrolled.

GoPrint Card:

You can use your Student Access card to make photo copies or prints at any GoPrint station at any college in the Los Rios District. To activate the debit stripe on the back of your card, insert it into any vend/revalue GoPrint station and deposit the amount of value (minimum $1.00) you wish to put on the card. Additional value may be added to the debit stripe any time thereafter.
(Note: If you still have money on a former Los Rios GoPrint card, you can continue to use that card until the value is spent by going to a Revalue Station and inserting your card to reactivate it.)

Discount Card:

Some stores and merchants offer discounts to our students. Use your Student Access card to prove you qualify for the discount. To find out what discounts you may qualify for, click here.

If your card has a UTP sticker and it is lost or stolen:

There will be a $15.00 fee to replace lost or stolen cards with UTP stickers. You can pay the fee at your College Business Services Office and show your receipt at the ID card station to receive an immediate replacement. There is no charge to replace a lost or stolen card that does not have a UTP sticker.

If your card or sticker is damaged:

Damaged cards or damaged stickers will be replaced free of charge. Please bring the damaged card with sticker or the damaged sticker to a location where cards are issued.
