One Card system makes life easier at Florida college

Andy Williams   ||   Oct 08, 2008  ||   ,

Clearwater Christian College in Florida has implemented a One Card system from Heartland Campus Solutions that gives the school flexibility to add services as needed.

For now, the card will be good for the library, meals and event tracking. It also includes Heartland’s Give Something Back Network, that enables students and parents to put money on their student IDs and use them to make purchases at Centre Court and select off-campus merchants. Both the student and college receives cash back that goes towards funding student scholarships.

As one administrator put it: “The purpose of the CougarCard is to offer students a greater selection of goods and services, making their transition to CCC easier and more pleasant. The basic idea is that since everyone needs an ID, let’s add value to it to benefit the campus community in as many ways as possible.”
