Student IDs and Library Cards

GTU Student IDs:

During orientation, there will be several opportunities to have your photograph taken for your GTU student ID.  The ID card will then be produced and ready within minutes.  If you are unable to attend orientation, please contact the GTU Consortial Registrar's Office (jseal@gtu.edu or (510) 649-2462) to set up an appointment to have your photograph taken.

SCU Student IDs:

During orientation, there will be a trip down to SCU’s campus.  On this trip, the group will stop by the ACCESS office for your photograph to be taken.  You will receive your ID card that day.  If you are unable to make the trip down to SCU, contact Tere Gallarreta (tgallarreta@jstb.edu or (510) 549-5017) to set up a time to have your photograph taken at JST.  Your ID will then be mailed to JST for you to pick-up from Tere within a few business days.

GTU Library Card:

Your GTU student ID will serve as your GTU library card.  Once you have received your ID card, it will need to be validated with a sticker indicating you are enrolled for the current semester. To get the validation sticker, you must first register for your courses.  After you have registered, print a copy of your class schedule and take it to Lorna McKeown, JST’s Assistant Academic Dean and In-House Registrar, and she will give you the current semester’s sticker.

Once your card is validated, take it to the GTU library circulation desk to have it bar-coded. Your card must be bar-coded to use the GTU library, or to obtain a UCB library card.  Your card must be validated at the beginning of every semester.

UCB Library Card:

JST students can get a UCB library card free of charge, and have access to the top public research university library in the country, with over 10 million volumes. 
Once your GTU student ID has the current semester’s validation sticker, and you have had the card bar-coded by the GTU library, you can walk over to UCB’s Doe Library to get a library card that allows you to check out books from all of UCB’s several libraries.  When you enter through the main entrance, take a left and walk to the circulation desk.  They will be able to issue you a UCB library card for that semester.   This card must be renewed every semester after your GTU library card has been validated.

SCU Library Card:

As SCU student, your SCU student ID gives you access to the SCU library.  Their Department of Archives & Special Collections houses the University Library's rare books and manuscript collections, the University Archives, and the California Jesuit Archives.
