Merger with Student identity card[edit]

I think the merger should happen but not from, but to Student identity card. Student ID is a wider concept, encompassing high school/primary school/etc. IDs, whereas campus cards seems to be a more limited term, used only for university IDs. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:36, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Student identity card is a more general term and would even apply to educational institutions that do not have a "campus".Theodore Kloba (☎) 20:00, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense to me, but the resultant article would still need quite a bit of work post-merger. --Ahecht (TALK

Updating Entire Page[edit]

To whom it may concern,

Several classmates and I from English 102 were assigned the task of editing a Wikipedia article. We choose the campus card page. We've spent several weeks working on it and strongly believe it is accurate and very informative now. The previous page was filled with plagiarism but we have corrected that.

Thanks!

@Cwichtricks99: Good job. Two suggestions: 1) add a picture and 2) this article should cover more than just United States. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:20, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions for Improving the Campus Card Page[edit]

Hello,

I am writing to propose several updates to this page and would like to get thoughts from all interested parties.

1. Change terminology from "Campus Card" to "Campus Credential" to encompass the use of multiple technologies used for the delivery of services (physical card, smart device, fob, wristbands and biometric).

2. Focus on higher education whether in person or virtual

3. Update the History section to read:

The National Association of Campus Card Users (NACCU) is the only association that specializes in the campus identification and transaction industry, serving the national and international campus credential community (National Association of Campus Card Users, n.d.).

In 1993, the NACCU board held its first board meeting at Duke University. The board was composed of thought leaders from Loyola College, Duke University, SUNY Geneseo, and Florida State University. Their vision was to create an organization with the purpose of educating college and university administrators charged with the responsibility for developing card systems by apprising them of newly installed applications, vendor performance, technology platforms, and other matters relating to the marketplace for transaction systems.

Today NACCU consists of campus credential professionals from colleges and universities around the world. NACCU provides its members with opportunities such as webinars, TED talks, annual conferences, a resource vault, NACCU Program Assessment resources, and the CampusIDNews publication (formerly CR80News). Membership and activities for NACCU have continued to grow over the years.

4. Reach out to the European Campus Card Association for information on their work to make a unified European student identification

I have other suggestions but I will stop here until I get feedback from others.

Essay-like[edit]

Hi,

This article seems to contain many sentences and sections that seem to be in support of campus cards or arguing for their use.

Examples:

-In today's complex campus environment, delivery of critical services... is dependent on campus credential programs which bring together multiple constituencies, systems, etc... spanning the entire campus community using a single identity (Lv, 2013).

-Campus credential programs can influence and reinforce a sense of belonging for students and other stakeholders.

-Campus credential professionals need to recognize the impact that a credential and the policies surrounding the credential and its usage can have in shaping a user’s experience. (Written as if to argue about the topic, esp. with "need"

-NACCU provides its members with opportunities such as webinars, annual conferences, a resource vault, listserv, program assessment resources, and the CampusIDNews publication (formerly CR80News). Membership and activities for NACCU have continued to grow over the years. (not exactly relevant)?

Additionally, most of the past edits (which includes adding the sentences above and ones similar) are by @Lharris523, who has stated on his userpage he is a part of the National Association of Campus Card users, which may be a conflict of interest. Per WP:COICOIN, I am putting a notice here.

Please advise if I have incorrectly stated or suggested anything.

Thank you,

Reading this Article felt like as if it was made by someone promoting these cards, especially by NACCU, which is linked. A warning must be put, which warns about the bias SunnyandBunny 21 (talk) 17:16, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
