IU Alert
Immaculata University utilizes IU ALERT, a mass notification system, to send emergency notifications and timely alerts to the university community, including weather-related closing information. Campus community members may receive notifications by email and/or text message. Students are encouraged to sign up for IU ALERT through the Campus Applications section on the MyIU portal or at https://immaculata.omnilert.net/subscriber.php Students may register two email addresses and two cell phone numbers at which to receive the notifications.
Parking
All students taking three (3) credits or more on campus must obtain a University parking permit. The permit fee is $25 for part-time students and $50 for full-time students (12 credits or more) for the academic year. Parking permits can only be purchased on line through links on the Campus Services section of the MyIU portal or the Transportation and Parking page on the University website (www.immaculata.edu/campus-life/transportation-parking/)
After purchasing your permit online, students must arrange to pick up the permit by sending an email to OneCard@immaculata.edu , Subject: Parking Permit.
Safety officers will issue tickets to vehicles that do not have a parking permit displayed and/or are illegally parked. Students attending classes at an off-site location must follow parking regulations as posted or announced by the host institution or facility.
University Identification (ID) Card
The University identification card is a photo ID that serves a variety of purposes including campus store purchases, meal plan usage, and residence hall access. The ID card also serves a library card. All students, faculty and staff should obtain a University identification card. The card should be displayed while on campus or presented upon request to any University official.
ID cards are issued at the One Card office located in Villa Maria Hall. Arrangements to obtain an ID card should be made by contacting the OneCard office at OneCard@immaculata.edu. New students may obtain an ID card at no charge. However, a fee will be charged to replace a lost or damaged student ID card. To obtain an ID card, a student will need the following information:
- Current class schedule that includes the student’s name and University ID number.
- Second form of identification, i.e., driver’s license, etc.
Cardholders who have a OneCard account can access their account through the OneCard icon in the Campus Applications section of the MyIU portal. Additional information is also available in the OneCard section of MyIU (under “Resources” and “Campus Safety”).
