Viking Card changes on the horizon

The Viking Card is going through a transition starting in December to deactivate the computer chip technology and transfer card readers to magnetic stripe only.

Kathleen Mooney, administrative assistant in auxiliary services, described the changes that will start taking place.

“Starting Dec. 17, the university will begin deactivating chip readers so they will no longer work. Students who have money on the card will have a chance to transfer funds from the chip starting on that date.”

She said the new card is going to have an online VikingCash account accessed via the magnetic stripe, which tracks the amount of money stored on the card in a host computer in case it is lost.

“The magnetic stripe is unlike the chip technology, where if a student loses their card they also lose the money on it,” she said.

She further said vending machines will be cash only until next summer and online VikingCash will be accepted in the library, all dining facilities, the bookstore and parking office.

“Students do not need to obtain a new card and Dining Dollars, Meal Services and Huntington Bank services will not be affected by the switch,” she said.
