In order to obtain a Student ID card, after paying fees, Special Session students should:

  • Send an e-mail to the Bursar’s office
  • In the email, state that you are a Special Session student and want a paper ID card. You must provide:
    • Name
    • Mailing address (the address will be verified with the address on file in my.sjsu.edu)
    • and Student ID number

The request for a Student ID card should not be submitted until after fees are paid.
