Name information on the SJNY Mobile ID comes to us from the university’s core business systems and needs to be updated there. Students should contact the Registrar’s Office. Faculty and staff should contact their HR representative to request updates. Once changes are completed, the updates will sync to the SJNY Mobile ID on your phone within 24 hours. 

I am graduating or leaving the University. What happens to my SJNY Mobile ID?
As with a physical ID, your SJNY Mobile ID will become inactive when you no longer meet eligibility requirements. If you transfer to another participating program or department at St. Joseph’s University New York, your credential will stay active and update accordingly.

Yes, you will need to install the updated version of the Transact eAccounts mobile app.
