On-Campus Intensives

Here's what to know before you arrive to campus.

Your SMU ID Card is your official University ID and your key to campus life. When you’re on campus for an intensive, use it to check out books at Bridwell and Fondren libraries, access campus buildings and pay for dining. It also makes you eligible for student discounts at movie theaters and other area businesses.

Plan ahead so your card is ready before your first visit to campus.

Get your SMU ID Card

Hybrid students are responsible for their own housing when traveling to Dallas, Houston, Memphis or other intensive course locations. Some intensives and Global Theological Education immersion courses include housing in the course fee. The Office of Student Life and Engagement Office provides lists of local hotels, rental home services and other lodging options.

If you are enrolled in an intensive course on the SMU campus and will be bringing a vehicle, you may purchase a short-term parking permit. You will receive an invitation from the Student Life Office to request a permit, and the Parking Office will add the fee to your SMU Miscellaneous Account.
