Your Campus Key

Web-based access to most University online information requires a "Campus Key" login and password. You'll need your Campus Key to log into Library computers, to get into JEFFLINE databases and more. Library computers are part of the University's Academic & Research Network (ARN).

What is my Campus Key?

The Campus Key is a six- or seven-digit combination of letters and numbers. For example, if your initials are 'abc' your campus key may be abc493 or abc2561. This login will always be unique among Jefferson users.

DO NOT SHARE YOUR CAMPUS KEY OR PASSWORD!

How do I get my Campus Key?

All students, all University and Hospital faculty and staff, and all JEFFLINE subscribers are automatically assigned a Campus Key. Find your Campus Key now.

What is my Campus Key Password?

Your first Campus Key Password is your first name initial, last name initial, and last 4 digits of your Social Security number (e.g., tj0000).

If you have used JeffMail (@jefferson.edu) or Banner Web, use the same password with your Campus Key.

Note: If your Campus Key was created before June 2, 2008, your first Campus Key Password is your Social Security Number (SSN) without hyphens.

How do I change my Campus Key Password?

As a new Campus Key user, the first thing you should do is to change your password. Do NOT use words found in the dictionary or any variant of your name. A good practice is to pick two words linked with a character such as a dash or period. Campus Key passwords must be at least 6 and no more than 8 characters long. Change your password now.

If you can't log in with your first Campus Key password or JeffMail password, please contact the Technical Assistance Center at 215-955-7975, ask for help from the Library (at the 2nd floor Scott Reference Desk, askalibrarian@jefferson.edu, or 215-503-8150) or use our online request form.

BE SURE TO LOG OFF TO PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED ACTIVITY UNDER YOUR IDENTITY!

Purchase a Vendacard for Photocopying and Laser Printing
Scott Memorial Library, Access Services Department
215-503-6995

Scott Memorial Library photocopiers and laser printers use VENDACARDS (not coins). Cards are sold at the Circulation Window on the 2nd floor of Scott Memorial Library and operate on a pay-as-you-go basis.

Once you have the card, you may add value or "credit" to the card as needed. This will be deducted from the card as you make photocopies or prints.

  • Faculty, students and staff of TJU/TJUH may purchase the cards for $1.00 and make photocopies or laser prints at the discounted rate of $0.10/copy (members of the public pay $0.25/copy).
  • For example, to make 100 photocopies, your total cost would be $11 ($1 for the card and $10 for the 100 copies).

You may add credit to the card once the original amount has been depleted; visit the Library's Circulation Window or the Edison LRC (1300 Edison).

Dot matrix printing is free.

In case of loss or theft, write your name and contact information on the back of the card.
