Employee Services

All employees are entitled to a Cajun Card.

Your first card is free, while replacements are $25.00. All documentation must be completed with Human Resources before coming to our office. Once your documentation has been submitted it usually takes a day or two for our system to update.

It is important to make sure that your card reflects your current status of employment such as Staff, Faculty, Adjunct or Essential Personnel before printing the card.  If your status is incorrect in our system, we must verify with Human Resources before printing the correct status on your card.

The entire process of receiving your card should take no longer than five minutes, but please remember to bring a valid photographic ID such as a driver’s license, passport or other similar document with you.

Feel free to contact us to make sure you are in our system correctly before coming by our office to receive your Cajun Card.

Once you're all set to come by, it only takes a few minutes to receive your card.  Please bring a current picture ID (Driver's license, passport, etc.) with you.
