Dear
Colleagues
At the University
of Southampton we are looking at ways we can improve our ID cards, making it
easier for students to apply, to produce the cards, and enhance the services we
provide on one card.
As part of this
we're interested to hear how other institutions manage your ID cards, as well as
your experience of external suppliers. We'd very much appreciate it if you
could take a few minutes to respond to the questions below, or forward them on
to appropriate colleague within your institution.
1. Do you
use an external supplier to provide cards and card management
systems?
1a If yes,
who do you use, and would you recommend them?
1b Are you
able to provide details of your supplier for us to contact?
2. Can
students and staff apply for their ID card online, including upload of
photographs?
3. Can
students and staff select additional services to be loaded onto their card, e.g.
gym membership?
3a. If yes,
can they do this online?
3b. Can this
include services that need to be paid for, and how are the payments
managed?
4. How long
on average does it take you to produce a new ID card and a replacement
card?
5. Are you
cards ITSO compliant?
Many
thanks
