Student I.D. Card
Reactivation each semester is no longer required in order to use your library number. Your library number will be automatically reactivated whenever you register for a class.
Once admitted to the EIU Extended Learning Online or Off-Campus Program, your registration for classes will trigger the production of your EIU I.D. You should receive your card in 5-7 business days
This card contains the library number. Your library number entitles you to:
- Set up the "My Account" feature in the EIU Online Catalog and I-Share
- Check out materials at a distance and have them sent to your home or office (if outside Coles County)
- Interlibrary loan services (request materials from other libraries)
- Check out materials in person at Booth Library and nearly 100 other academic libraries in Illinois. An additional photo ID is required for this.
- Check out materials from MyMediaMall
Please note that if you already have an active Panther Card, you may not request a Extended Learning ID card.
