Gorilla ID Card

What is a Gorilla ID Card? The Gorilla ID Card is the official photo ID for Pittsburg State University. All students, staff, and faculty will need this card as university identification.

How do I get my Gorilla ID Card? You can get your card in two ways:

1. Your First Gorilla ID Card

1. Gorilla Geeks (everyone)- Visit the Gorilla Geeks in 109 Whitesitt Hall to have your Gorilla ID Card made on the spot. Depending on the time of year there may be lines and wait times.
2. Employees and Students Taking Classes on Campus - For employees and enrolled students attending classes on campus, use our Self-Submission Process, and the Gorilla Geeks will create your card for pick-up in 2 business days in 109 Whitesitt Hall. You must be an enrolled on campus student or current employee to use the self-submission portal.
3. Online Only Students - For enrolled online only students, use the Online/Concurrent Submission Process to request a new Gorilla ID Card. When your card is ready, we will mail it to the address we have one file for you.  Please verify your address is correct in your demographics before submitting your request.  

Note: Mailing of Gorilla ID's is only available for online only students.

Note: When you come to the Gorilla Geeks office to pick-up your Gorilla ID Card, bring a driver’s license or other valid Photo ID (Passport, State ID, Real ID, etc.) to confirm your identity.

1. If you lose your Gorilla ID Card, it was stolen, damaged or you have had a name change and would like a new card, please send an email to support@pittstate.edu to let us know you need a replacement and why.  There is a $20.00 charge for replacement ID’s.
2. If your Gorilla ID Card was stolen and you filed a police report, send an email to support@pittstate.edu and attach a copy of the police report and we will waive the $20.00 replacement fee.
3. After sending an email to support@pittstate.edu you will need to go to the Gorilla Geeks to have your replacement Gorilla ID made.

Note: When you come to the Gorilla Geeks Office to pick-up your Gorilla ID Card, bring the $20 fee for the replacement (cash or card) and a driver’s license or other valid Photo ID (Passport, State ID, Real ID, etc.) to confirm your identity.

How much does a Gorilla ID Card cost? Your first Gorilla ID Card is covered by university fees. If you need to get a replacement card, there is a $20 replacement fee, which can be paid in the Gorilla Geeks office when you pick up your new card.  Replacement cards are issued if you have lost your card, your card is stolen, the card is damaged, or need to change your name on the card.

• If your card is stolen and you can provide a police report, a replacement card is free of charge.
• If your card is damaged, bring it with you and Gorilla Geeks staff will inspect the card to determine if there will be a charge for the replacement ID.

What is a Banana Bucks account? You can open a Banana Bucks account, which lets you deposit funds on your Gorilla ID Card to use for various campus services. You can do this in the Gorilla Geeks office or conveniently manage your Banana Bucks account online.
