Frequently asked Questions about the Student Activity (ID) Card:

Q: Do I really need a Student Activity Card?
A: The Activity card is not a mandatory card but there are many benefits to getting a Card.

Q: What is the Student Activity Card good for?
A: You can receive discounts at Butte College and around Butte County with your card. The card is also used to ride the Butte College buses, check out books at the library, receive discounts for CSUC and Butte College theater productions, and also can be used as a second form of ID. When you pick up your card, you will receive a coupon booklet with discounts for the Butte College Bookstore and Food Services.

Q: How much is the Student Activity Card?
A: The Activity card is a $12 Student Activities Fee. This fee needs to be paid at Admissions either at the Main Campus or Chico Center before you can pick up your card.

Q: But didn't I already pay for a Student Activity card?
A: It depends. If you take at least one daytime Main Campus or Chico Center class, then you will be  automatically charge the $12 Student Activity Fee. If you do not have any daytime Main Campus or Chico Center classes, then you will not be charged. This fee would then be an additional fee you can pay through Admissions either at the Main Campus or Chico Center before receiving a card.

Q: Can I get a new Student Activity Card?
A: The only way you can receive a new Activity card is if you have lost it or have a name change. After two cards you will have to receive permission from the A.S. Advisor and may be charged a $5 replacement fee.

Q: When can I get the new validation sticker?
A: The soonest you can receive your new validation sticker is the first day of the new semester and your Student Activity Fee has been paid to Admissions either at the Main Campus or Chico Center.
