<p>im an entering Fall 2008 freshman and I was wondering if a photo ID (such as driver's license or a dmv issued photo ID) is necessary?</p>
<p>you should bring one if you're planning to drive anywhere, go to TJ or get on a plane. otherwise, your ucsd-issued ID will be sufficient for most things</p>
<p>You get a university issued student ID with your picture on it. You take the picture at orientation. Other than that, I don't know what kind of picture ID you would need within UCSD.</p>
