Tower Card Update
To obtain a new tower card once you have emeritus status, send an email requesting an updated card to University Personnel and attach your emeritus letter.

However, for San Jose Public Library print and online material, you will need to apply for a separate SJPL card if you do not already have one.

Note: With COVID, SJPL began offering an e-library card, which provides access to just their digital material. For print plus digital, emeritus faculty would still need to come in for a physical library card.
