Southwestern Oregon
Community College (SWOCC)
and campus card service
provider CardSmith are
pleased to announce the
launch of a new campus ID
card program for the SWOCC
campus community.
The new
Laker One Card is the
college’s new official ID
card and the key to campus
facilities and services
including door and meal plan
access.
CardSmith’s SaaS
transaction solution is now
processing meal plan
transactions at the
college’s Dining Hall.
Southwestern is in
the process of issuing new
Laker One Cards to all
students, faculty and staff
with a CardSmith-supplied
card production system.
Laker
One Card will have a secure
“24/7 Account Center” where
cardholders can view meal
plan transactions and
balances, manage account
information, and more.
The College is
evaluating the expansion of
card acceptance to other
areas of campus including
pay-for-print stations and
other applications.
“Southwestern is very
pleased to be bringing this
upgraded service and
convenience to our campus
community” said Jeff Whitey,
Director of Housing.
“The new card program
will make our campus more
efficient and provides us a
platform to easily expand to
applications beyond dining.
We chose CardSmith because
their SaaS transaction
processing service easily
and economically supports
both our current and future
processing needs, and
because they have expertise
in building card programs
with campuses like ours. The
transition has gone very
smoothly thus far, and we
are looking forward to
implementing the next phase
of expansion.”
“CardSmith
is very pleased to be
working with Southwestern
Oregon Community College,”
said President Jay Summerall.
“Jeff and the SWOCC team
have been very good business
partners, and we are looking
forward to helping grow the
Laker One Card program in
the months and years ahead.
CardSmith is
expanding rapidly in the
community college market,
and we plan to continue to
develop our technology and
services to meet the needs
of this important segment.
We’re also pleased to
continue our growth in the
Pacific Northwest region.”
