Card Issue Guidelines:
To receive an ID card you must be a student, staff, faculty or retired member of the university.
If you are a new faculty or staff member, a picture form of identification and your contract from Human Resources must be presented prior to obtaining a card. Your contract must have you listed at an 80% or greater appointment in order to receive a staff or faculty card. Acceptable forms of identification include:
- Passport
- U.S. Driver's License or State ID
- Military ID
Example ID Cards:


A picture will be necessary in obtaining an ID card:
No headgear, sunglasses or any other item that obstructs the face will be worn at the time the ID picture is taken. In accordance with the United States Department of State policy regarding the wearing of religious headgear in passport photos, photographs must be taken with no visible obstruction of the face necessary for positive identification. The upper portion of the forehead to the lowest point of the chin may not be covered.
New students will incur a $10.00 charge; which is charged to their Bursar bill.
Lost/Stolen ID cards:
If your card has been stolen or misplaced you will need to go to SalukiNet to inactivate your card or call the ID Office and let us inactivate the card for you. After 4:30 p.m. and on weekends you may notify the Department of Public Safety (453-3771). If you find your card you will need to bring it to the ID Office for re-activation or go to SalukiNet. We will not re-activate your card over the phone.
For a replacement ID card there will be a $15.00 charge incurred to your Bursar bill at the time of service.
The cardholder is responsible for safeguarding their ID card. Should a card become lost, either accidentally or by theft, SIUC assumes no responsibility for illegitimate purchases from the cardholders account prior to the cardholder notifying the ID office during regular business hours at (618-536-3351), deactivating the ID card through SalukiNet after business hours, or by contacting the SIUC Department of Public Safety at (618-453-3771).
Misuse of ID card:
ID cards are the property of the Student Center ID office. If you allow another individual to use your card for the purpose of obtaining services such as Mass Transit your ID will be confiscated and the cardholder will be subject to disciplinary action.
To prevent damage to our CSVT (Debit Dawg) machines, cards turned into the ID office that are cracked or have holes punched in them will be shredded.
