Temporary Campus Cards and Kiosks

What do your students do when they lose their campus card, and the office is closed? Look no further! At WSU, we installed temporary card kiosks across campus. These temporary card kiosks allow students to check out a temporary card to access their facilities and meal plans if they misplace their card, lock it in their room, and if the campus card office is closed. This system allows students to access their dorms and meals for a short period of time while they find or replace their card, and it has been incomparably valuable for our students.

Discussion Questions

1. What options do your students have when they lose their campus card and the card office is closed?
2. How do you evaluate the needs of residential students, employees or faculty related to their campus cards?
3. How can a system like this improve your campus card technology performance?
