Digital Marauder Student ID Card

What is the Digital Marauder ID Card?

The Digital Marauder Card ID Card is the official identification card for online degree-seeking students at Central State University.

  • Issued Digital Marauder ID Cards are good only for the term for which they are issued and new Digital Marauder ID Card invitations are sent every term 1-2 weeks after the last day to drop add.
  • Invitations and issued cards are not transferable.
  • Student status and official University identification number are indicated on the front of the card.
  • Students should maintain access to their Marauder Card through the ID123 mobile app at all times as proof that they are a CSU student. 
    • Lending or borrowing the Marauder ID Card, altering it in any way or failing to present it when requested by a University official is a violation of University regulations and subjects both the lender and the borrower to disciplinary action. You may be asked to present an official state-issued ID alongside this ID as proof of identity upon request. 
  • The ID card will also be revoked for attempted use by another individual and the violator’s name forwarded to the Dean of Students Office.    

Who is eligible for the Digital Marauder Card?

The Digital Marauder Card is only issued to all online degree-seeking students each semester. The card expires at the end of the term and if the student remains enrolled, an invitation for a new ID will be sent to the user after the drop/add date of the next term.

  • On-campus degree-seeking students are NOT eligible for the Digital Marauder ID Card, but may pick up their physical Marauder ID card on campus on in Room 13 of the Newsom Administration Building.

How do I access the Digital Marauder Card?

Accessing your Digital Marauder Card ID Card starts with the email invitation sent to you by ID123 card administrators. If you do not receive an email invitation, you are not eligible for the digital card and will have to make arrangements to get a physical Marauder Card ID Card on campus.
