The beginning of the school year brings a lot of new expenses for students.
Fortunately, there are a number of places that offer student discounts, and all you’ll need is your school ID card to save some money.
You can even use your school ID to score a free lunch at school every Tuesday!
The ASDC office at Shima 101 offers a free lunch through the Food 4 Thought program every Tuesday between 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
A typical lunch includes:
- One uncrustable sandwich, apple slices and a bottle of water
- Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, granola bar and a bottle of water
- Campbell’s soup, crackers and a bottle of water
- Lunchable, fruit snacks and a bottle of water
Lunch supplies are limited, so be sure to get there early.
The Mustang Pass is Delta College’s official student ID. card.
If you paid your $10 Student Activity Fee at registration, you can take a print-out of your class schedule and payment to the ASDC office at Shima 101F. (Or, you can just show them this information from your smart phone.)
If you opted-out of paying the Student Activity Fee at registration, then visit the Cashier’s Office on the first floor of the Horton building to pay your $10 Mustang Pass fee. Then present your receipt at the ASDC office at Shima 101F to get your Mustang Pass.
Some local business also offer discounts with student IDs. A full list of local businesses that offer Mustang Pass discounts can be found on the Delta College website by searching for “Mustang Pass Program”, then clicking on the “View Participating Businesses” link.
