Campus Cards, College and University Identification and Security

Lebanese University makes way to campus card use

Tuesday, July 27, 2010

Holy Spirit University of Kaslik, Lebanon has completed the first phase of a major project to issue students multi-functional student ID cards, according to a local news source.

Upon completion, Holy Spirit students will be issued campus cards, which function as student identity cards and access card-keys to various facilities around campus. The cards will also be linked to the student’s personal bank accounts, and used for debit purchases worldwide.

Phase I of installation, which consisted of installing the network infrastructure between buildings and at campus entrances, is complete; and Phase II, deployment of the card terminals, will begin next year.
