Students received new identification cards during a recarding event in the Recreation Hall the first week of April.
The Office of the Registrar and Information Technology worked together to bring the new card to campus.
"The new card is more tamper proof than the old card," says campus Registrar Evelyn R. Babey. "It is also sturdier, easier to read, and more professional looking," she says.
Featuring an additional magnetic strip on the back, the new card eventually may be used for a variety of student services.
Zackary O'Donnell, customer service center manager for I.T. Communications Resources, says the new student ID card can also be used by students as a long distance calling card.
A special campus committee began investigating the move to a single carding system about two years ago. O'Donnell has worked with the campus committee and the Office of the Registrar in acquiring the new student identification card equipment as part of a contract with MCI Communications to offer long distance calling services to students.
Students who have not received their new student identification card should contact the Office of the Registrar in Mrak Hall.
