Why do students have different login instructions than employees?

Students currently use their Student ID # to access all applications at SRJC. Now that we have transitioned to a new SIS and related database all Student ID #s have changed. In contrast, employees currently authenticate with their SRJC username associated with their @santarosa.edu email, which is not impacted by the migration to Banner.

What are “cards” in Bear Cub Hub?

Cards are the main way to access tools and services. Each card corresponds to a specific function, such as registration, grades, or faculty tools. 
Three Banner cared examples: Canvas & Distance Ed, Counseling, Faculty Self-Service

Why do my Bear Cub Hub cards look different from someone else’s?

Cards are personalized based on your role (student, faculty, staff). Some cards may appear in different places or be required (locked) depending on your access.

Why can’t I access certain features yet?

Some features may not be available until services (such as registration) are open or system updates are complete.

Can I use Bear Cub Hub on my phone or tablet?

Yes. Bear Cub Hub adjusts to your screen size and will display cards in a vertical layout on mobile devices.

What does the lock icon on a card mean?

A lock icon means the card is required for your role and cannot be removed from your home page
