New system allows
IDs to be debit cards
The EMU will be a test
site before expansion to
the bookstore or other
areas is considered
By Amy Goldhammer
Oregon Daily Emerald
The University hopes to final
ly be joining many other univer
sities and colleges around the
country in a few months by in
stalling a new debit card system
that will allow students to charge
products and food directly to
their University account.
“This card system has been
talked about for years and years
and years,” said Dusty Miller,
EMU director. “There are a lot of
components to a campus-based
‘one card.’”
The one-card system basically
means you can do it all, Miller
said. Most one-card systems use
a debit-based method, allowing
students or parents to prepay or
put money in the account at any
time. Miller said this will create a
positive balance of credits.
When the card is used any
where on campus that is hooked
up to the system, students will
have purchasing power without
actual money, Miller said. The
idea behind the debit card sys
tem is easy access, safe access
and the freedom of not having to
carry cash, he said.
“People will be able to go
around campus in a cashless
fashion, without having to worry
about carrying currency,” said
Theresa Coleman-Kaiser, food
service manager of the EMU.
However, the card system has
not been introduced yet because
it is expensive for the University
and start-up costs are substantial,
Miller said.
The EMU Board of Directors
knew the renovation would be a
backbone for the card system,
Miller said. The board was aware
that in the renovation, it would
be essential to purchase new
point-of-sale cash registers, he
said.
“These cash registers are
equipped to accept the debit
cards,” Coleman-Kaiser said.
“All registers will be linked to
gether and help keep track of in
ventory and product movement.”
The new cash registers will not
only be able to transfer money for
goods, but the information about
the transactions, Miller said. The
system will eventually allow stu
dents to purchase anything from
tickets at the box office to clay in
the craft center. Both Miller and
Coleman-Kaiser feel the card sys
tem will attract business.
“I think it will be very conve
nient for customers,” Coleman
Kaiser said. “This system will
only be adding to the ease of
making purchases.”
The new card system will be
convenient, fast and safe for
users,” Miller said. “The only
risk is losing the card, and your
picture is on it anyway.”
If a card is lost or misplaced,
the card center will be able to
stop that account when notified.
The card system will eventual
ly expand further to include
vending machines throughout
the University, Miller said.
Currently, the University
Bookstore is not involved in the
new card system because its gen
eral managers have not been ap
proached with this proposal yet,
he said. However, Miller said he
feels the card system will be a
good opportunity for the book
store and its customers.
“The EMU will start the debit
system with its food services and
possibly some vending first,”
Miller said. “We'll see how it is
received before we go outside the
University to the Bookstore or to
other services.”
After ID cards are issued to in
coming freshmen and new stu
dents, the card office will need to
get the system functioning, he
said. Returning University stu
dents will not need to get a new
ID card with new strips in order
to use the new card system,
Miller said.
“We’re pretty convinced right
now there will be no need for
new strips or new cards,” Miller
said. “This will save a large
amount of money and time.”
The new card system could be
up and running by winter term,
Coleman-Kaiser said.
