Western Card

 The Western Card is the I.D., access, and transaction card for Western Washington University, providing students, staff, and faculty with access to a wide variety of services on and off campus. The Western Card Office has recently moved to the Student Business Office under Business and Financial Affairs from University Residences.  

Phase 1 of the project included implementing three modules for the card production system: TSE Hosted, Instant ID, and eAccounts.  

• TSE Hosted is the module that houses the data and passes the credential information to and from Banner.  
• Instant ID is the on-premise module to create and print hard card credentials.
• eAccounts is the online portal where new and existing credential holders will be able to upload their photos or check account information.

We are on schedule to complete the system configuration and begin printing new cards for incoming first-year and transfer students for Fall 2022.  All existing card replacements will start later in Fall 2022.

Phase 2 of the project will include implementing the Mobile credential for Apple, Android, and Samsung phones and Apple Watches. Planning for this phase has begun.

We have targeted to complete the mobile credential rollout in Fall 2024.
