Step 3: Resources

Take a moment to sign up for or check off these resources that apply to you before starting your first class.

Campus Store

Start your first class prepared by ordering your books online from the Campus Store. Two weeks before the start of your class, you can enter your Course ID number on the campus store website to find the required books. Instead of waiting until the first day of class to find your required materials on the syllabus, you'll have your books in hand, and be off to a great start to your graduate or professional program.

Student ID Card

Student ID cards are issued by the One Card Office. Visit the Student Services Center website for complete instructions to submit your ID card request.

Now that you're a student at Azusa Pacific, you can request your student photo ID card. You'll be able to load funds on your card and use them at the eateries on APU's Azusa campus, at the libraries, and the Campus Store. ID cards may also be required at campus sporting events.

Parking Permit

All graduate and professional students, regardless of location and course load (except online programs), are required to register their vehicles with the Department of Campus Safety. As required, a parking permit will be issued to the student and must be appropriately displayed to allow for parking at any of the APU facilities.

Complete Campus Safety's online vehicle registration and you will receive your parking permit in the mail. Parking permits are valid for the academic year (September–August).

Azusa Campus Graduate Parking Fee

• All graduate and professional students attending the Azusa campus and registering a vehicle will be charged a parking fee that will be placed on their student account.
• View the current list of parking permit charges.
• Azusa campus parking permit fees are billed each fall and spring; there is no charge for summer parking.
• The parking fee does not apply to students in summer intensive programs such as the Master of Fine Arts, the Doctor of Ministry (DMin), the MS in College Counseling and Student Development, the PhD in Higher Education, the EdD in Higher Education Leadership, the Field-based MA in TESOL, and the Field-based Certificate in TESOL.

Visit Campus Safety for complete parking information and APU’s vehicle code.

University Libraries

As an APU student, you have access to the university libraries, which include three libraries on the university's Azusa campus, the regional campus libraries, and more than 100 online databases. You can check out materials, places holds in the library catalog, check your online library account, access online library databases, and request materials through LINK+ or interlibrary loan. Call (626) 815-3847 to request that a patron record be created for you in order to access these services.

You’ll need a patron record to access these services, which is usually created for you by the libraries at the start of your first term. Confirm that you have a patron record by logging in to your library account at http://patris.apu.edu/patroninfo with your APU NetID and password. If you encounter an error message, the libraries will be notified and a patron record will be created for you, usually within a few hours. You can also call (626) 815-3847 to request that a patron record be created for you.

Academic Resources

The Academic Success Center provides support to APU students through a variety of services and programs designed to promote academic success.

The Writing Center coaches APU students to improve their writing. The center assists all APU students working on any kind of writing project at any stage of the writing process. The Writing Center’s dedicated website for graduate students can help you navigate the challenges of working and writing at the graduate level with helpful articles, tips, and personalized advice.

Student Health Insurance

Graduate and professional students at APU have the option of purchasing student health insurance through the Student Services Center at the current health fee. APU student health insurance is available to graduate and professional students who are enrolled at least half-time in an academic program. Students go through Gallagher Student to use their benefits and receive services through a PPO physician in their area or may opt in to pay a health services fee per term to use the APU Health Center.

Visit the Graduate and Professional Student Health Insurance website to learn more about student health insurance, how to sign up, eligibility, coverage period, and coverage benefits.
