NAEP Question of the Month: Smart Card Solutions for Employees and Students

Print this Article | Send to Colleague

The NAEP Exchange is the place to ask your questions, seek best-practice advice, and search for RFP assistance. The Exchange is a members-only benefit, which means no prying eyes from suppliers; this is a place to ask questions of your higher education procurement colleagues from across the country.

Our question this month comes from Ann Kokx-Templet at San Jacinto College:

I'm looking for supplier recommendations who offer an ID Badge or smart card program for your employees and/or students that can be accommodate some or all of the following functions:

  • ID badge
  • Door access
  • Meal plan spend
  • Financial aid disbursements 
  • Student refunds

Our current employee ID (badge) card system integrates with our access controls system, but it doesn’t support the other features.  Seeking ideas of programs that can handle a combination of features, even if it can’t accommodate them all.
