About the Student XCARD

An XCARD is a card for Waubonsee Community College students, featuring your picture, name and X-number. Your X-number is printed on the card as well as encoded in the magnetic strip and barcode of the card.

It is a way to keep your X-number handy when you need it. Use the card to easily provide your X-number at various campus offices without the need to memorize or verbally recite it. 

XCARDS are issued at the following locations:

• The bookstore at Sugar Grove and the Aurora Downtown Campuses (except during the week before classes start and the first two weeks of the fall and spring semesters)
• The library at the Sugar Grove and Aurora Downtown Campuses one week before classes start and the first two weeks of each semester
• The library at the Aurora Fox Valley Campus during regular library hours year-round

New students will have an opportunity to get an XCARD when they attend a New Student Orientation session. You must bring your X-number and a minimum of one ID (driver’s license, state ID or consular ID only). If you do not have an X-number, contact the Admissions Office.

There is no cost for a student’s first XCARD. However, a $10 fee will be charged at the bookstore to replace a lost or stolen card.

The bookstore at Sugar Grove Campus or Aurora Downtown Campus will issue a new card for a fee (see above).

You may contact XCARD Services by calling toll-free (888) 406-7057.

If you have lost your XCARD, report it immediately to XCARD Services by calling toll-free (888) 406-7057. Found cards should be returned to the information desk at any of Waubonsee's four campus locations.

Be sure to keep your name, address and phone number up to date with Registration and Records. This helps to ensure you will receive important communications from Waubonsee about your XCARD, your classes, financial aid, billing and more.
