The Jackson State University ID Center was established under the auspices of Dining Services in 1987. In 1995 it was designated as a separate department. The purpose of the ID Center is to administer the production of ID cards for students, faculty, staff, and guest of the university. The ID Center also administers the laundry, vending, and access control programs with the CBORD CS Gold Campus Card System. The ID Center is staffed with two (2) system information specialists.
CS Gold
CS Gold is the heartbeat of the Campus Card System. All card accounts, meal plans, access accounts, laundry accounts, and vending accounts are maintained and monitored with this system.
What Does CS Access Control?
Dining Services
Students, faculty, and staff with meal plans or point plans may use their ID card to purchase meals at any dining location on campus.
Vending
Brown Bottling Group is the local Pepsi distributor. They provide the machines and maintain them. Machines are equipped with card readers for card purchases and coin and bill accepters for cash sales. Card readers are networked to CS Gold to validate card sales.
Laundry Facilities
Caldwell and Gregory has provided laundry equipment at Jackson State University since 1992. All equipment is supplied and maintained by C&G. All resident students are assigned laundry access upon completion of registration. Students are allowed seventy points for laundry per semester.
Purpose
Jackson State University strives to provide its students, faculty, staff, and visitors with a safe and secure environment. To enhance the safety and security of the campus community, faculty, staff, and students are required to obtain a University issued photo identification card. The University issued photo identification card will serve as the official means of identification for Jackson State University.
Scope
Jackson State University (JSU) considers the University issued photo identification card an important component in developing and maintaining a secure campus environment. In conjunction with the measures implemented by the Jackson State University Department of Public Safety (JSUDPS) campus security system, the University mandates that all faculty, staff, and students (part-time or full-time) display his/her identification card, visibly and clearly at all times, while on campus property. It is every faculty, staff, and students’ obligation to help keep the campus safe for everyone.
The Jackson State University card is a multi-purpose card. Its primary function is to serve as an identification card for all faculty, staff, and students. However, JSU has partnered with Off Campus Advantage to create a debit program known as the JSU Supercard Program. The JSU Supercard provides access to numerous venues throughout the campus and off campus for certain purchases.
