Identification Card and Press Card

All employees (staff and faculty) and students of the J-School are required to carry a Newmark J-School photo identification (ID) card with a current validation sticker in order to gain access to the building and the library. Students may be asked to show the card when entering the Newmark J-School or other City University buildings or when using any Newmark J-School facilities. You will also be given a library barcode sticker, to use both in the Newmark J-School Research Center and at the Mina Rees Library at the Graduate Center. In subsequent semesters, the Public Safety Officer at the 3rd Floor desk will issue students updated validation stickers for their identification cards once the Bursar’s Office has certified that the student has paid tuition and fees for the new semester. Students who lose their ID card will be issued a duplicate upon payment of a $10 fee.

Students will also receive a press card identifying them as reporters for the NYCity News Service and students at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism. This card should assist them in gaining access to many news events. Students who lose their press pass will also be issued a duplicate, upon payment of a $5 fee.
