Shield Cards

Student Shield ID Card Instructions

Shield ID Cards are created at the Campus Police Office during business hours (9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., Monday – Friday). Photos can be sent ahead of time by emailing ShieldID@sbts.edu. Please include in the email your full name, student ID number (six-digit number in acceptance email), whether you are a Boyce or Southern student, and attach a photo that follows the guidelines as outlined on this page. A valid form of ID including the legal name is required when picking up a shield ID. Shield ID cards will not be mailed and must be picked up in person at the Campus Police Office.

Spouses and Dependents

Spouses and Dependents are also able to obtain a Shield ID by filling out this form. The form can be submitted either in person at the Campus Police Office or emailed to police@sbts.edu. Please allow 48 hours for processing before visiting the office for your printed Shield ID.
