Your Cajun Card will be the most important thing in your wallet during your time at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.
First and foremost, it serves as your student ID. But the Cajun Card is also your free season pass to all Ragin’ Cajun® home games (when available), gives you admission to campus events, is your library card, meal card, building, lab, and parking pass, and gets you discounts at tons of different stores and restaurants around campus.
In addition to all that, you can load it up with Cajun Cash and use it like a debit card on campus and at a select list of off-campus favorite shops.
To receive a Cajun Card, you must be a registered student or an employee of the University. All you need to bring is a form of picture ID and a Ragin’ Cajun smile. Processing time will take approximately 2 minutes.

LSU and UL Lafayette students and alumni have served this Nation faithfully both in periods of crisis and times of peace.
The University of Louisiana at Lafayette and the United States Army uphold this shared tradition of excellence through the University’s ROTC academic Department of Military Science. This department benefits the students of UL Lafayette by providing them the opportunity to qualify for a military commission while they are also pursuing their college degrees.
The primary ROTC objectives are:
- to enroll and motivate officer candidates;
- to provide academically centered courses of study, which broaden students’ appreciation of and dedication to American principles;
- to develop students’ abilities as leaders and managers;
- and to motivate students to reach their full potential as officers.
The goal of the ROTC program is to commission men and women who show leadership potential, have completed ROTC program requirements, and have earned a college degree.
Working together through the ROTC program, the University and the Armed Forces contribute to a common national objective of infusing young people with personal integrity, honor, personal pride, and a desire to serve the nation and the community as effective citizens.
