Student information

Student ID

AUArts issues an ID card to each Continuing Education student who are enrolled in on-campus courses longer than one day. We encourage Continuing Education students to hold onto your card after the end date of your course, for future use. Cards are issued once per academic year (September 1 - August 31st) and can be used for multiple courses within that time frame. 

Your ID card will provide you access across campus. Use it to release interior doors in stairwells and activate elevators. 

Cards are active only during the dates of your course and will be “turned off” once your course ends, and will be re-activated remotely when your next course starts.

You will pick up your ID from the security office before your first class meeting of your course.

Arriving 15 - 20 minutes early will give you plenty of time to get your card and get to class.

If you are registering last minute for a course, your ID card might not be ready for the first class meeting. You can sign out a Temporary ID card from security for that evening’s class and will need to pick up your ID card from reception or security just before your second class meeting.

You are responsible for your card. If you should lose your card, you may purchase a replacement for $25. Please contact our office to request a new ID card.

Your AUArts ID card will also get you a discount on art supplies at a number of local, independent art supply stores in Calgary: Destination Art Supply, Inglewood Art Supply, Kensington Art Supply, and Mona Lisa Materials Ltd. Show your card and course registration when checking out.

Lost or stolen ID cards will be subject to a $25 replacement fee. Worn out cards will be replaced for free at security. 

For Single Day Courses: Obtain Temporary ID card from security for your single day course as you will not be issued an AUArts Student ID card.

Facility

AUArts is a smoke-free environment. There are designated smoking areas outside of all exterior doors. Please stand 10 metres away from entrances.

The AUArts cafeteria is closed evenings and weekends, we suggest bringing your own snack and water bottle with you. There are food services available on SAIT campus, just a 10 minute walk away.

No food in studio spaces, drinks with lids are allowed.

Please dress appropriately in closed-toed sturdy footwear and non-precious clothes as many art materials leave permanent stains.

Library

The Library is located on the second level of the university and the library staff will be pleased to introduce you to the range of resources available to you. Their specialized collection is focused on supporting contemporary art, design and emerging media practices.

Registration in Personal Interest courses does NOT give students full access to the Luke Lindoe Library. To borrow books from our library, students will require a TAL card, which they can obtain from any public library. When borrowing from the Luke Lindoe Library, students will need a TAL card and acceptable identification, such as photo ID. While using a TAL card, students may borrow a maximum of 5 books. 

When not registered in classes, you are welcome to continue to use the library with an Alberta Library (TAL) card.

Troubleshooting tips

I get a message that says “Sorry, we don't have enough information to verify your identity. Please contact helpdesk@auarts.ca for assistance.”

• The student ID and/or date of birth you entered can’t be found.
• Make sure that your ID contains the full 9 digits (including 0’s at the start) and that your birthdate is formatted numerically as MMDDYY. (i.e. April 1, 2002 would be 040102).
• If you’ve forgotten your AUArts ID, please contact Continuing Education at 403-284-7640, or email coned@auarts.ca
