The Lehigh ID Card is the official Lehigh University campus ID card. The main difference between the two cards is that the Lehigh ID Card is designed to be a stand-alone ID card, and includes a photo. The Lehigh ID Card also includes technology that provides access to a number of on-campus services, which the Distance Education ID Card does not.

Yes, if you wish to obtain a Lehigh Photo ID, it may be obtained from the IDEAL Department, located at 42 University Drive on Lehigh's campus. You will need to follow the photo submission instructions found at http://www.lehigh.edu/~inluid/photo.shtml. Please note that the IDEAL Department does not mail Lehigh ID Cards. You would need to come to campus and pick up your card in person. If you have a Distance Education ID Card and come to campus at some later date, you can drop by the IDEAL Department and trade in your current Distance Education ID Card for a Lehigh ID Card.
