Illness

Rhode Island College encourages any student too ill to attend class to check with Health Services. Any ill or injured student whose medical concern does not require a health center stay, but is unable to travel to the Dining Center, must follow this procedure for Carry - Out - Meals:

• Have a medical form approved by Health Services.
• The student, a friend or a roommate must present the approval slip to a Dining Service Supervisor along with the student's ID card in order to pick up a carry - out. Call and set up a pick - up time with a Supervisor.

Rhode Island College Identification Card (RICard)

Your RICard photo ID card is one of your most valuable possessions while you are at R.I. College. The access ID card system represents the latest in technological advancements.

• Your RICard is non-transferable and will be useable for the duration of your student status at Rhode Island College.
• Your RICard is valuable and you should treat it like cash or a credit card. The college seeks to protect you and your property as much as possible. However, we can only do our part as each student does his/hers.
• If you lose your RICard or find that your card had been stolen, you must have it replaced at Campus Card office, located in the main lobby of the Student Union. You will be issued a new RICard for a replacement cost of $10.00.

Note: To purchase a meal for a guest you must be present. No one is allowed to use your RICard and it must be presented at the time of purchase.
