Q. What is the reasoning behind asking students to first show their ID to enter library? Is this a new protocol?

The Hubbard Library at Fuller Seminary has always been a private library for the service of the Fuller Seminary community. The entrance policy of checking ID for students and visitors has been intentionally enforced since 2016, in light of disruption of library services by non-Fuller affiliated guests. 

Starting Summer of 2018, and in coordination with Fuller's long term campus security and access control initiatives, a Fuller ID is mandatory for all library visitors, including Fuller faculty, staff, and students. 

Fuller students, faculty, staff, and alumni can pick-up a new Fuller photo ID card at the Welcome Center in the Hubbard Library. Fuller housing residents should email the Campus Safety Office at campussafety@fuller.edu to activate their ID for housing clearance. 

The Hubbard library asks that you please respect the staff and cadets who work hard to keep our community safe.

Any arguing, ignoring of staff instructions, or any other unacceptable behavior, constitutes a violation of Fuller’s Community Standards, and all incidents will be reported.

We thank you for your cooperation!
