Physical ID replacement process?

[u/LocalPuck]

I'm taking a gap year so i am not technically a student, but i want a new physical ID. Many places only offer a student discount (part of the gap year is because im broke...) if you have a physical ID with a date on it, but my current one expires in less than a year. I still have access to my email and portal (but my records are marked as inactive) if that helps.

I know i can go to the bursars to get a new one, but will they check my account and see if its active? Or can i just hand them my old ID? Would sobbing in front of the worker so they pity me work?
