To address inequity and safety concerns of transgender and gender-expansive students, Seattle Central will waive the cost of replacement student ID cards once a quarter. Transgender and gender-expansive students can be put in danger when producing an outdated student ID card, and some may experience dysphoria as a result of being confronted by an outdated name, or a picture that no longer looks like them.
To be eligible, students must:
- be currently registered in at least one class at Seattle Central or in the upcoming quarter
- have already paid for or received at least one student ID card
- be currently undergoing a medical or non-medical gender transition
- or have transitioned since receiving their last student ID card
- have not already received a student ID card replacement from this quarter
- have entered an updated/preferred name in ctcLink before arriving at the ID Center
For a step-by-step guide on how to change names in ctcLink, please consult the Seattle Colleges website.
Steps for Replacing Student ID Cards
- Fill out a paper form and provide it to ID card staff in the Registration Office (printed paper forms will be available next to the ID card station), or
- Submit this form electronically, record your ticket number on the form, and share the ticket number with ID card staff
Pro-tip: Submit your form at any time, though we recommend 1-2 weeks before or after the quarter starts to avoid long lines.
