Student Identification Cards

Return To: 2025-2026 Student Handbook   

If you are a student at any campus or center within the Ozarks Tech college system, you are required to have an Ozarks Tech student identification card, also called an Ozarks Tech SmartCard.  The Ozarks Tech SmartCard serves two major purposes.  First, it serves as the official student ID to be used on campus and will have the student ID number and photo on it.  Second, it can be used by students to receive their student account refunds.  All students are issued SmartCards and are required to carry them at all times.  Students are also required to provide the ID to college officials, including Safety & Security personnel, upon request.  Students are not permitted to let others use their Ozarks Tech Smart card for any purpose.  For more information about Ozarks Tech’s SmartCard, including having your SmartCard photo taken, non-photo SmartCards, replacing lost or stolen cards and much more, please visit the following link: https://services.otc.edu/finance/smartcard/.  You may also email smartcard@otc.edu, or call 417-447-4827 for additional information.
