How do I submit proof of health insurance and immunizations?

When can I get my student ID?
Students can submit their photo online to get their ID when they arrive. If they don't submit a photo ahead of time, they can visit the WVU Hub in the Benedum Center to take their photo and get their ID when they arrive to campus.
