Find out how MBU works before you even step on campus. This list of essentials is sure to get you prepared for life at MBU.
Student ID
Your student ID swipe card is nothing less than essential at MBU. Your ID is not only your primary form of identification at MBU, but it also serves as a library card, meal plan card, and, frequently, your dorm entry key
You can get your student ID from IT Services once you’ve completed the admissions and registration process. Make sure to get your card early, and don’t forget to smile!

Lots A and B – Blue Faculty/Staff stickers, $35 per semester
- A limited number of Blue stickers are available for students to purchase.
Lot C– Semester Color stickers, $25 per semester

Residence Hall Lots – Brown Resident stickers, $25 per semester
- The fee for the Brown sticker is included in resident fees.
