Lyon 2 student card: one of the most advanced in France

Launched in French universities at the beginning of this decade to provide students with an access to all academic services, the multi-purpose student ID card was developed by Monecarte, a French company specialized in designing and marketing identification solutions and epurse based payment solutions.

The University of Lyon 2, with more than 27,000 students, adopted the multi-purpose card in 2003.

The challenge was twofold:

  •  Facilitate student and staff access to all services provided by the university
  •  Drill down on the behavior of students (food, sports, and cultural preferences)

With such an extended scope of applications, the Student ID Card at Lyon 2 stands as one of the most advanced in France.

 

One student ID Card with various encoding for multiple applications

Fast improvements in card encoding technologies have paved the way to a number of new services.

Today, such cards combine multiple technologies - magnetic stripe, smart cards with or without contact - to support new applications. The Lyon 2 multi-purpose student card  offers:

  •  Access control & Identification:  
     
    •  Access to the different areas of a campus
    •  Access to sport infrastructures and cultural activities
    •  Borrowing books
    •  Electronic signature for exams
    •  Management of student records and grade reports
    •  And much more

For sports activities, the access control application ensures that all participants have paid their fees and are therefore covered by insurance.

  •  E-purse: the electronic money smart card  
     The holder simply funds its e-purse account (known as Monéo in France) and then uses it to pay for meals at the cafeteria, buy snacks at a vending machine, or operate copy machines.
