Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do when I arrive on campus?
In person check-in is May 20, 2024 at the Eccles Conference Center, Room 203. Check-in is open each day from 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM.
After May 20, 2024, check-in will be available all summer, Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM, in the Eccles Conference Center, Room 101.
If you have an ID card from past years, bring it with you. If this is your first summer, you will receive a voucher for the ID card and instructions on where to pick it up.
What is a Summer Citizens ID Card? Do I need it?
The Summer Citizens Card is mandatory. You will be asked to show your card at all times throughout the summer. It allows you to participate in any on-campus program or event. The card will be used as an identification card for campus services such as recreation facilities, fitness centers, computer labs, parking privileges, and a debit card for dining accounts and select discounts. If you registered with the program since 2015, you must keep your Summer Citizens ID Card. Bring it with you, because the card is a lifetime card that is reactivated each year you register with the program. Everyone who did not register in 2015 or 2016 will be issued a new lifetime card.
What amenities does my Summer Citizens Card allow me to access on campus?
The Summer Citizens ID Card allows access to the USU library and computer labs, on-campus parking privileges, eligibility to purchase a campus recreation pass, eligibility to register for Summer Citizen classes and entrance to all of the orientations, merchant fairs and the closing social. Keep it with you at all times.
Can I just buy one card and share it with my spouse/significant other?
Each Summer Citizen participant must have their own card. Your card is used to identify you as a participant in the program. Therefore, sharing cards is not allowed. Your picture and A# are on the Summer Citizens ID Card.
How will I know about university events throughout the summer?
Due to the increase in electronic access to information, the Summer Citizen program will no longer provide a Communication Council. Information updates will be posted to the Summer Citizen website at summercitizens.usu.edu and Facebook as well as sent to each participant via email.
