Department of Public Safety

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.

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.
