Welcome to SCU!

The ACCESS credential is Santa Clara University's official campus ID, facility key, library, gym, and debit card. To set up your ACCESS credential, please follow the instructions below.

Step 1. Submit Your Picture

Check your SCU email address for "Salutations from Online Photo". This email contains a secure link for you to submit your picture and photo ID, which are required for your ACCESS credential. First, submit a picture of yourself that meets our guidelines. You will then be prompted to upload a picture of a US government-issued photo ID or your passport page to confirm your identity. You will receive an email when your image is approved.

• If you cannot find the email referenced above, please contact access@scu.edu for support.

Step 2. Set up Your ACCESS Credential

You can set up your digital ACCESS credential after your image has been approved. This short video on our homepage provides an overview of how it works; instructions to get you started are below.

1. Start by downloading SCU's dual authentication app, "DUO". Please see DUO's Quick Start Guide. If you have questions about DUO, contact Information Technology at techdesk@scu.edu.
   
   
2. Next, on your phone, go to the app store and download “Transact eAccounts”; then select "Santa Clara University."
   
   
3. When you have downloaded both apps, email access@scu.edu with your name and campus ID number. We will respond with the final instructions.
