Faculty/Staff Impact

On March 6, 2006, Clayton State will migrate from identifying faculty and staff members by their Social Security numbers to using a unique identifier called the LakerID#.  This effort will help protect individual privacy and confidentiality.  The change in business practices is the result of a new University policy, Social Security Number Usage and Protection Policy (coming soon).  Policy and process implementation will begin March 6, 2006, with planned completion by March 20, 2006.

Current Faculty and Staff Members

Each department on campus will be required to comply with the new Social Security Number Usage and Protection Policy.  In order to comply, all departmental policies, procedures, and forms must be updated by March 20, 2006, to reflect the use of the LakerID# instead of the SSN, where appropriate.

During the conversion process on March 6, Banner will be unavailable.  LakerCard services will be limited (no deposits or card production during conversion).  Copying with the LakerCard will be available. 

To assist with the transition to the LakerID#, a web application will be available so you can look up your LakerID# number.  You will receive an email immediately following the conversion which will contain a link to the LakerID# look-up site.  In addition, the link will be available on the University’s homepage, the Current Students webpage, The DUCK, and the Alumni Services website. 

You will be able to continue logging on to these applications using your Social Security number until the end of Spring Semester 2006.

Human Resources currently accesses employee records by last name.  Future use of the LakerID# for accessing payroll and personnel records is being considered.

Please review the Student Impact page.  Familiarize yourself with the changes that students should expect so that you may help them through this transition.
