Campus Card Interface

Equitrac allows users to swipe a Campus Card at a release endpoint as a method of payment from a third-party account using the Campus Card (also called Foreign Accounting System or FAS) functionality. The bridge between Equitrac and a Campus Card system is the Campus Card interface.

Equitrac currently integrates with Blackboard, CBord Odyssey and CBord CS Gold interfaces. Additionally, any system can be integrated with some development work using the Campus Card API, as described in the Campus Card API Reference Guide.

Equitrac users can authenticate themselves as valid Campus Card account holders at embedded devices, make copies, release jobs, and pay for these services in real time directly from their Campus Card accounts.

To use a Campus Card system, you must obtain a valid Campus Card Connector license.

You can configure CAS to cache Campus Card IDs, tender keys (if available) and transactions when the Campus Card system is offline. CAS stores offline transactions while the Campus Card system remains unavailable. When the Campus Card system is back online, the cost of the offline transactions are applied against the appropriate account (and tender key).
