The Tower Card is your Student Identification card. Use this card as student identification to obtain services at the Library, Event Center, Santa Clara County Valley Transit (buses & light rail), Student Health Center, Admissions & Records, Career Planning & Placement as well as to obtain parking permits and other frequently used student services.

With your Tower Card, you never have to worry about carrying cash, credit cards or checks for some of your campus needs. Spartan Gold Points allow you to present your Tower Card to make your purchase. To purchase Gold Points now, visit Gold Points Online. For more information, visit our Student ID Card (Tower Card) Frequently Asked Questions.

Note: Open University Students are not eligible to receive a Tower Card unless they first purchase a VTA Transit Pass/Sticker from the Associated Students Business Office (located in the Student Union), for $73.50. Once the VTA Transit Pass/Sticker has been purchased, bring the receipt and a photo I.D. to Tower Card Window 9, located in the Student Services Center next to the Cashiers windows, and a Tower Card will be issued for a fee of $5.00.
