Identification cards are valid only during the term of an individual’s employment with the College. Exception is granted for Emeriti faculty and staff and their spouse/significant other and eligible dependents. Spouse/ Dependent identification cards must be turned in to Human Resources at the time the spouse/dependent no longer needs the card or can no longer be claimed as a deduction on the eligible staff member’s income tax return.
