Associated Students is currently working on developing a campus initiative called One Card that would allow students to make purchases at CSUN, such as the campus bookstore and on-campus dining stores.

During last week’s Associated Students meeting, President Jonathan Hay revealed plans for a new university-wide service card that would allow students to make purchases on campus.

This service, named One Card, would incorporate the services and stores on campus into one card available to all students at CSUN. One Card allows students to access the Student Recreation Center, services at the University Library and make purchases from the campus bookstore and all campus dining.

Earlier this month, Hay met with the standing committee, which are “workgroups made up of Associated Students senators that research student issues to develop reports, resolutions, policies or statements in response to the specific problem,” according to the AS website.

They discussed whether the cards would be digital or physical and when the cards would be distributed to students. No decision has been made as of yet.

Other CSU campuses, like Cal State Los Angeles and California State University Sacramento, have similar card programs that allow their students to access their library, printing and copy services, the campus bookstore and food services. It is unclear whether or not Hay modeled the CSUN One Card after these existing programs.
