POLICY: It is the policy of Spoon River College (SRC) to require photo identification (ID) cards for all employees and students of the College in order to facilitate safety and security.
SCOPE:
This policy applies to all Spoon River College employees and students.
DETAILS:
The SRC ID Card is the property of Spoon River College. The Canton Learning Resources Center (LRC or Library), is responsible for the overall production and distribution of the official ID card for Spoon River College. The LRC staff adheres to this policy to govern the production and distribution of the SRC ID Card.
ID cards may not be transferred or altered.
All college employees are required to obtain and wear their ID card at all times while on campus. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action. NOTE: The photograph on the identification card may be used for the College’s online employee directory; however, this photo will not be used for that purpose without the employee’s consent.
Students are required to carry their ID cards at all times while on campus.
Students must show their ID card upon request by Spoon River College officials performing their duties that identify themselves and state the reason for their request. Failure or resistance on the part of the student to produce a valid student ID may result in disciplinary action.
Unauthorized use warrants confiscation and/or disciplinary action.

After an employee’s last date of employment with the College;
Lost/Stolen ID Cards: Employees or students should contact the Canton LRC immediately at (309) 649-6208 if their card is lost or stolen. Although the initial card is free, the replacement fee for lost or stolen cards is $15.
