PennCard Receives New Design and Contactless Technology |
|
July 15, 2014, Volume 61, No. 01 |
Starting this month, the University will introduce a new look and contactless technology to the PennCard—the official University ID. Newly issued PennCards will now have an embedded chip and antenna, in addition to the magnetic strip, which transmits the Penn ID when held within a few inches of a card reader.
The new cards will have the same functionality (door access, dining dollar$ and meal swipes, time and attendance tracking, PennCash, etc.). In addition, it is anticipated that the underlying technology will allow the cards to have additional uses in the future.
All newly issued and replacement PennCards will feature the updated design and integrate contactless technology.
