Tiger Card Student Information
- All students are required to have a Student ID Card to serve as official photo identification. The Tiger Card may be obtained at the Tiger Card Center, Memorial Union, room 208. The Tiger Card is valid for the duration of registration for undergrad and graduate students at Fort Hays State University.
- The Tiger Card is property of Fort Hays State University and may be used for class rosters and other university needs.
