International Student Identification Card (ISIC)

SMCM students are now eligible to obtain an ISIC card through the Office of International Education. The ISIC is a great piece of identification to have while traveling as well as something that offers you additional travel protection and great discounts around the world (including the U.S.).

An example of an ISIC card

The International Student Identity Card (ISIC for short) gives you thousands of travel, online and lifestyle discounts at home and abroad. It’s the only internationally accepted proof that you are a student, and will save you money on flights, accommodation, travel, shopping and entertainment all around the world, all for just $25! It’s a no brainer really.
