LIU Access

LIU CARD—YOUR KEY TO LIU

Every student at LIU is issued a LIUmobileID. The LIU Card serves many functions on campus. It can be used in the Library, Computer labs and the Gym. Dining purchases are also available at both campuses tax-free for students. You can add money to your LIU Card for food purchases with our electronic fund deposit machines located in the main cafeteria areas on campus. One of the new features available to the University community is the ability to place funds on your LIU Card through E-Accounts using your Blackboard account.

In addition, your LIU Card serves as your library card. To use any of the library facilities, including the book stacks and computer labs, you will need to present your card; you will also need it to take out books from the library.

If you live on Campus, your LIU Card serves as the key to the main entry of your residence hall. If you are visiting a resident student you will need your card to be granted access from the front desk. The LIU Card serves as your official identification as a student of Long Island University. You are required to show it whenever asked by any member of the LIU Campus community.

Minimal set up is required to use LIUmobileID. Students can begin using their LIUmobileID on their phone in minutes. Students first must submit an approved photo. Then, for added protection of information, LIU uses Two-Step Login as an extra layer of security on the eAccounts web portal at: https://eaccounts.liu.edu.

E-MAIL & INTERNET ACCESS

All LIU students get a free email account, with 25 GB of webbased storage. Email is an important mode of communication at LIU; you can communicate with professors, other students, and even your family, and you will receive campus-wide informational updates. Your MyLIU account is how we will reach you with communications. Wi-Fi access is available almost everywhere. There are approximately 500 computers on campus for student use. There are computer labs in Hillwood Commons as well as many major-specific computer labs. The Information Technology Center (located in the Library) provides numerous Macs and PCs for you to use for emailing, accessing the Internet and working on projects.
