Students returning this fall to Elizabeth City State University in North Carolina will find waiting for them a revamped student ID card with more services. While previous versions of the card granted users access to campus buildings and the stadium, the new VikingOne card will also have debit capabilities for use on-campus only at vending machines, the campus restaurant and the campus book store.
“Students have to have a separate card for everything, so this will be a major advantage for us,” said a university spokesperson. More services are likely to be added to the card by next spring, the official noted.
