Click on the USU map to see the building locations.

Walk to the Eccles Conference Center (building #12) to check-in and pick-up your Summer Citizens packet, parking pass, coupon book (and T-Shirt if you registered by the early deadline).

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.

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.

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.

Once you have registered for a Summer Citizens ID Card and/or courses, a confirmation letter will be emailed to you. Information about Utah State University and Cache Valley, including a coupon book offering discounts to local vendors, will be provided to you upon check-in on-campus at the Eccles Conference Center.

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.

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 sent to each participant via email.

The orientations are open to all and will familiarize you with the program, USU campus and current happenings.

The Summer Citizens Office does not make the policies for the individual properties. To participate in the Summer Citizen program, an ID Card is required and pro-rating is not an option.

Even on a hot day it typically cools down in the evening and stays pleasant through most of the morning. An evening breeze from Logan Canyon cools the temperatures at night.
