Be Smart—Your Student ID Is Where It
Starts!
Officially, it’s called the Associated Students of Foothill College (ASFC) Student
Body Identification Card, but we call it the OwlCard. It’s yours when you pay
basic registration fees each quarter. The OwlCard supports and makes many
campus services possible. Use it wherever student ID is required. Your OwlCard
has a computer chip that allows you to make purchases from the ASFC Smart
Shop, and select copy machines and print stations. You may also use your card
to check out books from the campus library or videos from the Media Center. Be
sure to also show your OwlCard to get free admission to weekly College Hour
and Heritage Month Series events. Use your OwlCard to buy discounted movie
tickets, get discounted admission to Foothill athletic and performing arts events,
food and café purchases, receive discounts at local restaurants and stores,
get free psychological services advice, and receive free legal counseling. It’s
the card that gives you emergency loans, campus event discounts, and funds
cultural and social campus activities.
How to Get Your OwlCard
1. Pay student body fees at registration;
2. Go to the ASFC Smart Shop (Room 2016) or Middlefield Campus Student
Resource Center in the Hub with registration receipt, photo ID and
completed OwlCard application;
3. Have your photo taken in the ASFC Smart Shop; and
4. Your OwlCard will be processed while you wait.
NOTE: You must pay your fees quarterly in order to have a current, validated
OwlCard.

Organizations Board of Directors
(OBD/Clubs)
Each club is linked to the Organizations Board of Directors (OBD) Club
Council, and is required to send a voting representative to the weekly meetings
Tuesdays at Noon. This voting representative acts as the public relations officer,
paperwork facilitator and main point of contact. The primary function of the
OBD is to provide funding and event clearance in an effective, organized and
fair manner so all clubs have the opportunity to thrive. OBD also sponsors a
quarterly Club Day information fair. All official club paperwork for funding and
events is processed at OBD meetings and due completed by Tuesdays by
11 a.m. Campus clubs reflect a variety of interests of the past and current
student body. Clubs have differing focuses including academics, careers,
diversity, education, politics, recreation, religion, service and social. This list
includes almost all clubs that have ever existed at Foothill College. For a weekly
updated roster that lists active clubs, contact Student Activities Office. Clubs
can be activated, reactivated or joined. Students are eligible to earn optional
leadership and community service units for club service hours.
