FIT Campus Card

FIT is fully committed to maintaining a safe and secure campus environment for the college. A vital part of that commitment is for all persons to show a verified form of identification to be permitted access to college facilities and services.

Students and Employees

The FIT Campus Card is the official campus multi-use card. You must present a validated card to FIT Public Safety personnel in order to enter campus facilities and events, as well as some academic and administrative offices, FIT residence halls, after-hours labs and classrooms, and other restricted areas. Additionally, you can use your card as a declining balance card to purchase campus services, such as Print/FX and dining services. 

Once an FIT ID number is issued for identification, the number will be electronically uploaded into the FIT Campus Card system along with other associated demographic information.

  • Students must provide proof of registration before a photo will be taken and a card issued either at orientation or by going to the FIT photo ID office, 236 West 27th Street.
  • Employees and all others needing an FIT Campus Card should go directly to the FIT photo ID office, 236 West 27th Street

A lost, stolen, or damaged FIT Campus Card should be reported immediately in person at the Public Safety office. Replacement cards cost $30.  

FIT Campus Card Management

Students and employees may go online to FIT eAccounts or to MyFIT to add money to their FIT Campus Card accounts, check activity and balances, report a lost or stolen Campus Card, or place a hold on account activity.  

Visitors to Campus

You must show proper identification to be allowed into any FIT facilities.
