How to get my NAU-Yuma ID Card & Library Card

Students, faculty, and staff at NAU-Yuma may go to the 3C Building on the 2nd floor to Campus Life and receive an NAU ID card.  Faculty & Staff will be charged $25.00 for their card.  Students may be charged (some have and others have not been charged $10.00). You may use this card to obtain your Library card and to use for benefits such as discounts at the movies, stores, and other venues.  Below is a video about how to get your library card.
