It seems that most people assign the highest trust level to others who have presented only one form of ID. Personally, I tend towards only granting that to people who showed me two seperate pieces of ID.
It may be helpful for you to think about things in terms of not just how many identity documents are present, but the relative difficulty in forging identity documents, as well as your ability to spot forgeries.
E.g., a university ID card is pretty easy to forge. You also probably don't know what Wayne State University's ID card looks like, so if someone presents it to you, you have no way of knowing whether it's on the up and up or not.
Compare that to a passport. You might already have a passport. Even if you don't, it's pretty easy to find out what a passport looks like, what sort of paper is used in it, what security features are present. You can thus have a lot more confidence in someone's identity if they present you with a passport than if they present you with, say, a university ID card.
