Student ID Card

All students are required to have an ITU Student Identification Card (Student ID). Student ID cards provide personal identification on campus; access to facilities, equipment rentals, library books; admittance to student sponsored evetns; records for attendance; and used for document pick-up and in conjuction with VTA Smartpass.

Students should always carry their ID card when on campus, as the ID card is required for class attendance and demonstrate authorization to be on campus. Students may be requested to identify themselves to a university faculty member, staff member, authorities through their ID card.

The student ID card remains the property of ITU. Services rendered by the card are non-transferable to other individuals; only the name cardholder can access student privileges at the university. An authorized use or altering of the card in any way, including using another student’s card or allowing someone else to use one’s card, may resultin disciplinary action. ITU reserves the right to confiscate student ID cards when use is deemed inappropriate.

The card is required for class attendance (check-in and check-out), and used in conjunction with your VTA Smartpass card to board the bus and light rail.

Violations of this policy may result in disciplinary measures in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct, Article IV. Students who lend their card to another for the sole purpose of accessing university facilities and/or falsifying the attendance system will be recommended for disciplinary sanctions.
