Campus Cards, College and University Identification and Security

Taking the UCard off-campus in Minnesota

Monday, November 29, 2004 in Library

by Ted Sander, Food Service Director, University of Minnesota

The University of Minnesota, a CBORD OmniAccess user, is one of the largest universities in the United States, enrolling more than 35,000 students on two campuses in the metro Minneapolis/St. Paul area. Approximately 6,000 of these students live on campus. We have Residence Halls that are as much as 10 miles from each other. The University operates 8 traditional Residence Halls (6 with Dining facilities), 3 apartment style complexes, 3 Convenience stores, and 19 “Retail” locations. With such a broad range of facilities, it was not in our interest to compete with ourselves by making our points (“FlexDine”) program available to a variety of vendors, but services that could enhance our students on-campus experience are worthy of consideration.
