The StagCard is a student's key to many opportunities at Fairfield. It serves as a library card, it may act as a debit card, and of course, it's a student ID, which qualifies students for discounts at the bookstore and other venues. It should be carried at all times while on campus.

In order to obtain a StagCard, you must be registered for classes and need to bring photo identification, a driver's license or passport, and proof of enrollment to the StagCard office, and be prepared to have a photo taken. For more information on the StagCard's functions, location and hours of operation, visit www.fairfield.edu/stagcard

All vehicles on campus must display a valid University parking permit sticker, which is free to all part-time students.

To register your vehicle and obtain a parking permit, visit www.fairfield.edu/parking.

Students must register online at http://fairfield.nsolutions.com. Cars without a valid parking sticker will be ticketed.

All visiting (non-matriculated) students are expected to abide by Fairfield University's student code of conduct and regulations, as well as to follow the academic policies and procedures.

It is recommended that visiting students familiarize themselves with both the University's Student Handbook and Undergraduate Academic Catalog. New visiting students should also review the annual Academic Calendar for important University dates.
