STUDENT ID's

If you haven't already obtained your MCC student ID, there are
many incentives to do so:

Your student ID allows you to:

1. Check out books, videos, and DVD's from MCC Library
2. Request books, videos, DVD's from other libraries at no charge
3. Have easy access to the login information required for MCC Library's databases while off-campus
4. Download free audio books from ListenNJ.org

If that's not incentive enough to get an MCC student ID, consider
these perks:

1. If you like to travel, but don't like the cost, sign up for an International Student ID using your MCC card. You'll find travel and other discounts.
2. Another travel discount service available for students with a valid ID is STA/Travel
3. Need computer software and peripherals? Academic Superstore offers discounts if you have a valid student ID.
4. Many local movie theaters offer discounted tickets with a valid student ID.
For example, Loews, New Brunswick offers student discounts Monday-Thursday.
5. Many museums in New York and New Jersey offer discounts on admission fees if you show a valid student ID. Just a sampling: Newark Museum, Montclair Art Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the MOMA:Museum of Modern Art
6. Broadway plays and other theater/music events in NYC offer discounts for students. For example:Lincoln Center Theaters offer a "StudentTix", but there are a limited number available. Carnegie Hall also offers student discount tickets. Student Rush tickets are available for some Broadway Plays. Most Student Rush tickets cost between $20 and $25
