OP-C-5 IDENTIFICATION CARDS

OBJECTIVE
To describe the University's official identification card program, known as the FSUCard Program.

OVERVIEW
The FSUCard (ID Card) is a multi-application integrated chip card; commonly know as a "smart card". It utilizes both magnetic stripe and computer chip technologies, allowing the card to provide greatly augmented services to the University and cardholders. The current status (e.g. faculty, student and others) of the cardholders is electronically updated to a computer file so eligibility for different services can be verified on-line, and electronically by other systems, related to different information and services (e.g. checking out books at the library, security access to buildings, resident halls and computer labs, financial transactions via electronic and card-based commerce) at the University level, as well as the surrounding community. Misuse of one's FSUCard may result in revocation of the card and related services plus disciplinary action.

A. DESCRIPTION OF CARD TYPES
Photo identification cards (FSUCards) are issued to members (faculty, students, staff, and guest) of the University community depending on the nature, or business, of their affiliation with the University. By accepting the ID Card, an individual agrees to abide by any rules and regulations that pertain to the use of University facilities, activities or services. Possession of an ID Card does not negate the cardholder from paying any admission fees or service charges that may apply to a given facility, activity or service.

1. Faculty/Staff - ID cards are issued to permanent full-time and part-time faculty and staff. Currently, there is no fee/charge to faculty and staff for issuing/making their initial or replacement cards.

2. Student - ID cards are issued to all students (e.g. current, Orientation, distance learning and those who have been admitted to the University and are attending Preview). The issuance of an FSUCard is dependent on admission to the University and no longer on course enrollment. There is a ten-dollar fee for the first, or initial, card and a fifteen-dollar fee to remake a card that has been lost, stolen or damaged by the cardholder's actions.

3. Specialty Cards - ID cards made for various specialty groups such as Leach Center membership, courtesy or vendor ID cards. The fee for these cards may vary depending on the requirements for the card design and the information that is printed or encoded on the card.

4. Retired Faculty/Staff - Retired faculty and staff are eligible to receive an FSUCard. Services offered to the cardholder in this category are dependent upon the policies of the facility providing the service.

B. PRIVILEGES
The FSUCard Program offers many innovative features and services to its cardholders such as a debit banking account, pre-paid value purse, long distance calling, and building/facility security access. A cardholder's eligibility is dependent upon their current affiliation to the University.
