Good news! Starting September 1, faculty, staff and students no longer need to validate their university ID cards.
Previously, returning students, faculty and staff needed to visit the Patrick Power Library at the beginning of Fall term to obtain a validation sticker.
This process will now happen automatically through Self-Service Banner and be linked to existing ID cards. If you have an ID card, please make sure to check Banner before September, to ensure that your information is up-to-date.
No additional action is required to renew your ID. Students take note: this year’s bus pass can be obtained from the SMUSA information desk.
Why do I need an ID card?
ID cards are used to access many campus services, including:
· Patrick Power Library
· Homburg Centre for Health & Wellness
· Metro Transit UPass/bus pass
· Dining services
University ID cards may also be requested when you write exams or attend university functions.
Don’t have an ID card?
Apply for a university ID or request a replacement online. You will be emailed when your ID is ready for pickup at the front desk of the Patrick Power Library. Remember to bring a piece of government-issued photo ID (driver’s license, passport, etc.) to pick up your ID. Replacements can be made if your ID has been lost, stolen, or damaged, or if you have changed your name or significantly changed your physical appearance.
