[quote=Anonymous]My DC and I went to a metro station to renew his student pass.  Yesterday I called DDOT and confirmed that this could be done at [b]any[/b] metro station as stated on their website (vs. one of those three Metro Sales Office).   I was told that it could be done at any metro station, so we went and tried, but...   The metro farecard machine doesn't let you specify for what you are adding value to your Student ID.   It simply says add value, as if you are just adding $30 to your SmarTrip card.   We were confused so we asked the clerk in the booth, but he had absolutely no idea...   We didn't want to risk losing $30 if it were not to be meant for the Student Pass value, so we came home accomplishing nothing.   We do not have a metro station near where we live, and it was work for us to take two metro buses to get to a metro station to do this, and yet we couldn't get it done.

Has anyone done this on the farecard machine at a metro station other than Metro Sales Offices?  If you successfully accomplished it, could you tell me how to renew/reload the student pass on the Student ID?   Additionally, if anyone has renewed the Student Pass on the WMATA SmarTrip website (as if you are adding value to your SmarTrip card), please let me know.  I would call DDOT and ask about this again next week, but that means we will miss the end of the month deadline for renewal if we are actually required to go to a Metro Sales Office to do it (due to my work schedule).
