Shield Cards

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 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.

For replacement cards or inquiries, contact the Campus Police office at (502) 897-4444 or police@sbts.edu.
