Get Connected to Campus Privileges

This page provides retirees with detailed directions for acquiring, or re-establishing services available from the campus and from our Association. It is not required that you be a CSUS Retired Faculty & Staff Association member to qualify for these privileges.

How to Get a Complementary Campus Parking Sticker

Emeritus faculty and staff whose addresses are on file on campus and who have requested one, received their new parking stickers in June. If you are an emeritus faculty or staff who did not receive a sticker, but would like to, you can make your request by sending your name and address to: eventparking@csus.edu

Lost Your SacLink Account? You Can Reactivate It.

It has been the practice on our campus to provide a SacLink account for emeritus faculty and MP3 staff. Like most of us, your account may have been deactivated because you stopped using your CSUS email address when you retired. After all, back then SPAM was terrible on campus email. Now many things about campus email have been improved and there are good reasons for reactivating your SacLink account. SacLink provides access to many University services that can be useful to retired faculty:

1. A SacLink e-mail account
2. Access to CSUS lab workstations
3. Access to the CSUS modem pool for Internet access (free internet service)
4. Access to the campus VPN (Virtual Private Network)
5. A personal Web page (show the grandkids you are way cool)
6. An entry in the CSUS Public Directory (if you choose)
7. Access to other campus services and community events
8. Possible help when applying for a CSUS One Card (See the next article.)

If you have lost your SacLink account, you may be able to get it reactivated. Call the University Help Desk at (916) 278-7337 or send an e-mail to helpdesk@csus.edu.

For many years all students, staff and faculty on campus have been issued a Sacramento State One Card. (See picture on the left.) The One Card is a credit card that you can use on campus and at many of the community businesses. It is also the accepted campus identification card.

Some of you were not on campus when these became available, so you have never had one. Others, like me, had their One Card taken from them when they retired -- that was a mistake which can be corrected. Emeritus faculty can get a new CSUS One Card. I just recently got mine. It is very easy to do.

But why would you want one? Well, for one thing, you can get discounts at some businesses in the community by using the One Card and it is also the accepted campus identification card that comes in handy at sports/theatre events and when buying things at the bookstore, getting a free copy of the campus phone directory or any other situations on campus in which your identity requires verification. The One Card also allows you to park in Parking Structure One shown in the map on the right.

Here is how you get one. The red arrow in the map on the right points directly to a small building connected to Brighton Hall. Brighton Hall used to be the English Building. Brighton Hall is directly across the court yard from the library. Enter the door on the right of the small structure, tell the staff you are an Emeritus faculty and ask for a One Card. You should bring a copy of your separation letter with you to verify that you are a retiree of CSUS. They will take your photo and issue you a card in a matter of minutes.

I Sent You My Email Address. How Come I Don't Get Email from You?

If you sent me your email address, but you are not getting mail from us, then one of these things occurred:

1. Sometimes hand-written email addresses are very hard to make out. For instance, an "l" an "i" and the number "1" are often very hard to distinguish in hand writing. When I am unsure of an address, I will try sending it several different ways. If, after about 3 tries I can't get an email to you, I have to give up.

2. I may have copied your email address wrong.

3. You may have changed your email address.

4. You may have sent me your SacLink email address instead of the address that you use most often.

How to Fix It. Please send me an email again. If you have a SacLink email address and an email address with another service, please send the email address you have with the other service since that is the one you check most often. You can also send BOTH email addresses and I will list you twice, once under each email address. My email address is at the bottom of any page.
