The Learning Abroad Center sells International Identity Cards!

International Identity Cards, administered through the Council for International Educational Exchange, are available for students and teachers. Cards are valid for one year from the date of issue. The cards provide basic international health and baggage insurance as well as discounts for airfare, hotels, restaurants, museums, theatres, and other locations around the world (including the United States).

To apply: You may apply for either card (ISIC/ITIC; see below) in person or by mail. For security purposes, orders may not be faxed or emailed.

Remember to include any required documentation of age and student or teacher status.
