If you will be driving, you should always carry your driver's license. If you are not planning on driving, you should still obtain a State ID because a picture ID may be required of you.  You can obtain a State ID at any Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). It is also a good idea to carry your MCW ID badge especially on weekends or at night, when access to certain areas is restricted to the public.

Access to parking requires a properly coded ID card. You will be given your parking assignment from the Office of Public Safety.

Each funding agency is different, therefore you will need to contact them directly or look on their website for grant opportunities and requirements. Look at our Grant Opportunities section for further information.
