Sponsor's Message
The implementation will provide nearly 5 000 students and staff with one multi-functional card that can be used for all necessary transactions and operations within the buildings, whether those transactions and operations have financial implications or not. It also provides a cashless environment to alleviate the problems associated with cash handling, such as pilfering, security and cash handling costs.
Further benefits include the loading of government grants directly onto a student's smart card for use within the University environment. Existing legacy systems (eg Library and Financial systems) will also be integrated to the SmartCity system.
