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 (JacksCard) 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. 

To get your Library Card to use at the Academic Library here in Yuma, complete this form online, or step inside the Library, and someone at the service desk will help you. The service desk is staffed the entire time the library is open.

Aslan Maleki shares his views on coming to the United States, being unable to speak, and the struggle to learn not only to speak but to learn a new language, English, as he is from Iran.  He gave this talk while a student at the University of Oklahoma, studying petroleum engineering.  His video is below.
