Welcome to the Virtual SIU ID Guide!

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve campus accessibility and convenience, students now have the option to use a virtual SIU ID on their mobile devices. This digital ID can be added to your phone's wallet and is especially useful for accessing services like the JAX Mass Transit/Saluki Express bus system.
