Drury student ID cards and parking passes are issued through the Safety and Security Office, located in the lower level of the Findlay Student Center, room 101. Click here for a campus map. Locate Findlay Student Center (FSC) #23.

Graduate students may have their photo taken any time after receiving a course schedule for the upcoming semester. The first Drury University ID card is complimentary; however, replacement IDs will cost $15 each.

If you need a parking pass, please bring your vehicle registration with you to the Safety and Security Office. You will not need to purchase a parking pass if you’re taking online classes only, but please only park in Lots 7 and 12 when doing Drury business in person. Parking permits cost $25.

Get familiar with Canvas.

Canvas is the Learning Management System at Drury. Regardless of whether you are taking an online course or not, familiarize yourself with it before coursework begins. Online and blended students are expected to log into Canvas the first day of class and regularly participate in class via Canvas.

Course content including syllabus, assignments, textbooks, and more can be posted up to one week before classes begin. Canvas orientation resources can be found at the Drury Help tab on the Canvas Home page.

Familiarize yourself with the Graduate Academic Catalog.

The College of Graduate Studies Academic Catalog is a valuable resource for all students and includes important details including the seven-year coursework expiration policy, the one-year readmission policy (if you do not take classes for one full year, you become inactive in our system and must reapply), requirements for graduation, and course load definitions.
