SIU ID Card - Phone #: 536-3351
Southern Illinois University (SIUC) is in the process of transitioning from using the Social Security Number (SSN) as the Student ID to a random ID number known as the DAWG Tag (that will begin with ‘85’). This change is critical in the continuing efforts to reduce the risk of identity theft of our students, faculty and staff. Beginning June 1, 2008, all current SIUC Identification Cards must be replaced with a new ID card that will have the ‘85’ DAWG tag number printed on the front. If you have an ID card that begins with ‘85’, you will not need to replace it. Students and staff who need a new card may stop by the ID Card Office at any time after June 1, 2008 to get their new ID cards. Read the Student Center Press Release about the DAWG Tag.
You can also visit the DAWG Tag Conversion web page to get more information about the implementation of this transition.
New and replacement SIUC ID cards for students, faculty and staff are made in the ID Card Office, 2nd floor, Student Center. To obtain an ID card, students must be registered for the current semester and faculty/staff must be currently employed at SIUC. Picture identification is required. (Driver's License, State ID, Passport, etc.)
New ID Cards cost $10.00, Replacement ID Cards are $15.00. Contact the ID office for additional information at 536-3351.
All ID cards are the property of Southern Illinois University Carbondale and are provided for appropriate use for identification and access to services. The card is not transferable and is valid as long as the holder continues his/her specific affiliation with Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Any misuse, alteration or fabrication of the card will subject the holder to disciplinary action by the University.
Cards issued to employees and individuals affiliated with Southern Illinois University Carbondale must be returned to the appropriate department upon separation (except upon retirement).
Cardholder is responsible for safeguarding his/her ID card. Should a card become lost, either accidentally or by theft, SIUC assumes no responsibility for illegitimate purchases from the Cardholder's account prior to the Cardholder notifying Check Cashing by calling 618.453.3493 during the posted operating hours for Check Cashing Services, or by stopping by the ID Card Office, 2nd floor of the Student Center or by calling the Department of Public Safety at 618.453.3771 after normal ID Office Business Hours to report the card as lost. Your ID card may also be inactivated online by using SalukiNet. Lost or damaged cards will be replaced by the ID Card Office upon the cardholder's request. Please note that a replacement charge of $15.00 will be applied to the cardholder's Bursar account. No money is collected in the ID Card Office.
