Employee Cards

The University of Saskatchewan Employee Card provides identification for library access, the PAC, Food Services debit account access as well as being a useful general purpose identity verification card for on and off campus purposes.

New Employees

In order to receive an employee card, you must be an active employee of the University of Saskatchewan.

Custom Nametags

The Campus ID Card Office will design and produce custom nametags for members of your organization. These nametags provide an attractive visual identification, with or without the bearer's photograph. If your employees, volunteers or pass holders require a form of ID authentication to be worn on their clothing, we would be happy to work with you to design the most suitable name badge for your organization.
